In July 2021 Monique, Frank and I experimented with medieval brewery in our beloved museum preHistorisch Dorp Eindhoven. The goal was not to brew a drinkable beer (although that would have been nice) but to show people how brewing could have been done back then. Based on our earlier research we decided to use hot stones this time.

Historical brewing and the preHistorisch Dorp; part 1
As some of you might know I am a volunteer at the local history museum. preHistorisch Dorp Eindhoven once started as an archeological experiment, building a house based on archeological research in a probable historical way.
Glass culture; what’s in a name?
Drinkware is so important for the beer experience it has a whole culture in itself.
Eindhoven: David Hendrich
I said I would come back to the beer side of Eindhoven. And what better way to start than to talk to someone who wanted to write about beery side of Eindhoven as well and ended up with writing a book about the breweries of the past in Eindhoven?
Brewery: Cantillon
When I visited Brussels last year it wasn’t specifically for the beery things. The main beery thing of the trip was a Gueuze brewery, namely Cantillon.
Eindhoven city tour
As of last week we are with almost 250 certified biersommeliers in the Netherlands. A week ago Tastewise and I guided a group of biersommeliers through beery Eindhoven.
Burton-on-Trent and beer
Burton-on-Trent is historically speaking a very important beer city and it is mainly known for this extensive brewing history, with its height around the 18th and 19th centuries.
Unser Aventinus
Starkbierfest. Aventinusfest. Madnessfest! Madness? Almost suicidally so, I’d say, a fest where the main beverage is a glass of beer with almost 7! units of alcohol.
Book: Brew Britannia
I like reading a lot! So much so, that we have a library in our house (hey, we had a spare room). So of course I also love reading books about beer.
Salzburg and beer
I haven’t got a lot of knowledge about the Austrian beer history yet and I hope to get back to this topic better educated. But for now I’ll just share with you our beery adventures in Salzburg.
