Evolution of Brewing in the Dark Ages

Your favorite history teacher Joel Hermensen comes back to talk with Gary Arndt and Bobby Fleshman about brewing in the Dark Ages. They discuss the history of beer brewing in Europe, focusing on the impact of the collapse of the Western Roman Empire, the role of Benedictine monasteries in brewing, the influence of the Vikings, the significance of Hildegard of Bingens, and the effects of the Reformation on beer production. They also touch on the Reinheitsgebot law in Germany and the transition of beer brewing during European expansion into the Americas.PATREON SUPPORTpatreon.com/respectingthebeerpodcastUncut episodes with bonus contentAccess to exclusive beersAccess to 50-minute video tour of McFleshman'sFACEBOOK GROUPhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/respectingthebeerQUESTIONS?Email us at [email protected]:Bobby Fleshman - https://www.mcfleshmans.com/Allison Fleshman -https://www.instagram.com/mcfleshmans/Joel HermansenGary Ardnt - https://everything-everywhere.com/everything-everywhere-daily-podcast/Music by Sarah Lynn Huss - https://www.facebook.com/kevin.huss.52/Recorded & Produced by David Kalsow - https://davidkalsow.com/Brought to you by McFleshman's Brewing Co
