I made a medieval ale not to long ago based a Cornell recipe that was published. No hops. Was not really sweet and was drinkable.

Ale is also supposed to be drunk live and not dead. Meaning, the yeast is still active. Dead beer was dumped. This is how it was drunk in Medieval times which helped it not to make you sick.

Ale was drunk by all in the household including children. It was a low ABV drink but the Brewer (Almost always the woman of the house) would often brew a strong Ale for the adults for actual drinking pleasure.

I suspect the author is not a brewer.

Thanks for reminder to go down to cellar and bring up a few bottles of my aging up-your-kilt wee heavy scots-ale brewed last year (11%). Drink Freedom, I say.

Since the Germans and the German-Americans primarily went to China and Japan in the 1800s while the Brits were raj-ing in India, the Chinese (Tsing Tao) and Japanese (Kirin, Suntory) make good German lagers, while Indian beer, primarily Kingfisher, has never been known for its quality.

After reading this article, with it’s switches between beer, ale and lager, I think Mary may have been sampling a few while writing.

All these IPA people when tasting say “Hmmm, maybe if we add more hops”.

So, can we be consistent on whether to call it “beer” or “lager”?

Sure seems to be constantly interchanging the words in here.

One is spelled with 4 letters and the other with 3 letters.

What’s the difference between beer nuts & deer nuts?

Beer nuts are $1.25, deer nuts are under a buck.
