Abstract

Since Antiquity, fermented drinks have
played an important role in European
culture. In eastern and northern areas,
ale - and from the close of the Middle
Ages hopped beer - formed part of people's
diets, provided livelihoods for rural
alewives as well as urban brewers and
accompanied countless forms of social
exchange. These drinks came in different
varieties and strengths, were consumed
in large quantities (especially during
feasts and rites of passage) and the
potential consequences exercised secular
and ecclesiastical authorities in great
measure.
