at 10.8 per cent alcohol content it's likely to blow your cassock off.Dogfishead IPA 120 ale, when aged for 5 years or so tends to be very delicious, sweet and 21% to 22% alcohol.

Oregon has a lot of great craft breweries. I select my beer by first looking for the maximum alcohol contents and then narrow it down between an IPA or a Porter. I can usually find several at 9%-11%.

I’ve got a 15 year old bottle of Bass Ale down in the basement. Anyone know if it’s drinkable?

The only resemblance between this Medieval beer and the swill made by American mega brewers is that they are both liquids.

The 54th International Congress on Medieval Studies, which met in Kalamazoo from May 9th to 12th, 2019, had a panel entitled "Medieval Ales Revisited: The Continuing Debate about Hops and Gruit" organized by Stephen C. Law of the Medieval Brewers Guild and AVISTA (The Association Villard de Honnecourt for the Interdisciplinary Study of Medieval Technology, Science, and Art).
The papers were entitled "Medieval Gruit Ales Revisited: New Theories about Old Beverages"; "Microbial Susceptibility of Hopped and Non-Hopped Ales"; "Hildegard's Cerevisiarius: Replicating the Ales of Eibingen Abbey"; and "The Gallic Origins and Spread of Beer-Hopping."
I attended the Congress but did not make it to that panel (there were nearly 50 panels going on at the same time and I chose to go to a different one--in retrospect the medieval ales one probably would have been more interesting). I have no idea what "gruit" means.

It sounds really good. I used to make a home brew that I went to 11% with. It was delightful. Unfortunately, I do not brew any more. I’ll give this new brew a try if I can get my hands on it.
