@upnorthentertainment.comBefore hops, beer got a little odd.
Herbs. Berries. Honey. Spices. Wormwood. And occasionally a few ingredients that might raise an eyebrow today.
Apparently “What do we have growing out back?” was a reasonable brewing strategy.

@theintellectualhis.bsky.socialHow much history can you find in a pint? 🍺 Last Saturday’s Hogs Back Brewery tour took me from Tongham’s brewing heritage to medieval ale and the arrival of hops in England. Which local history should I explore next? 📜 #History #BeerHistory #Surrey
@thealchemistsbar.comBrewing was women's work — literally, for most of human history. So how did it get taken from them? New Distillate episode. 🎧 #BeerHistory #HiddenHistory

@akrennmair.bsky.socialI looked a bit into how the Upper Austrian hop industry recovered after WW2, and also tried to identify the exact origin of the Austrian-grown Malling hops.
@upnorthentertainment.com🍺Nearly 5,000 years ago, getting part of your paycheck in beer was considered normal.
In the ancient world, beer found its way into wages, laws, religion, literature, and everyday life.
Civilization had its priorities.

@booze-networks.bsky.socialThe lights are going out on a piece of Maryland's brewing history.
The heavy iron gates at Halethorpe are finally closing their chapter.
A bittersweet toast to the workers who kept the pour steady for years.

@upnorthentertainment.com🍺 Who made the first beer?
The answer goes back thousands of years, before breweries, bottles, or written recipes.
We start The Story of Beer looking at some of the earliest brewing and the people who may have started it.

@foreigntrivia.bsky.social🍺 #115: Raise a Glass
Today's Foreign Five raises a glass. Five questions about beer: purity laws, abbey brewing, what hops really do, where the word cerveja comes from, and one very large tent.
Five questions, five languages, no sign-up. How many can you get?

@akrennmair.bsky.social5. getting more technical, some analyses of Oktoberfest-Märzen from the 1950s:
@akrennmair.bsky.social4b. more recently, I followed up on this and reconstructed the complete list of beer stalls/huts at the Oktoberfests 1895 and 1896, clearly showing that Vienna Lager, Budweiser (from Bohemia) and Kulmbacher Export were poured at Oktoberfest:
@akrennmair.bsky.social4a. I followed this up with a list of beers (both breweries and beer styles) at Oktoberfest that I could identify from Oktoberfest programmes:
@akrennmair.bsky.social4. a blog post going back to 2017, with historic ads from 1895 and 1896 of various beers that were served at Oktoberfest:
@akrennmair.bsky.social3. going even further back, this is what Oktoberfest was like in 1843:
@akrennmair.bsky.social2. what beers could you drink at Oktoberfest in the 1960s? There was certainly more choice in beer styles compared to today.
@akrennmair.bsky.socialOktoberfest started today in Munich, so here are my #beerhistory blog posts about its history:
1. the scandal of the first giant Oktoberfest tent: how a restaurateur from outside Munich ignored the authorities and established what is Oktoberfest nowadays.
@upnorthentertainment.com🍺 Beer has been around a long time.
Long before taprooms, beer flights, cans, bottles, or anyone debated how much foam belongs on a pint, people were fermenting grain and discovering that the result was worth making again.
