Extra Information & Sometimes Corrections if Needed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 0:23 Global yearly consumption in 2018 www.alcohol.org/guides/the-alcohol-industry-in-data/#:~:text=Global%20Alcohol%20Consumption,every%20year%20around%20the%20world. 1:22 Angry Orchard is a cider sold in USA that is often also colloquially called beer, so the list of things that are today called "beer" but aren't actually beer could be even longer. 2:11 List of ales made with gruit. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gruit 4:19 This is not to say that there weren't any breweries of beer in England until the 16th century but the over all trend in the country was mostly ale not beer. 5:14 Romans called the plant "lupus salictarus" meaning wolf among willows as the plant was known to aggressively grow around other plants mainly willows. 5:29 Although it is probably a very safe bet that people that lived under Roman control like the Celts, Illyrians, etc. didn't brew beer as well as we would have most likely found some mentions in the Roman written records. 6:56 Balto-Finnic not to be confused with the Baltic people who are part of the Indo-European languages where as Balto-Finnic are part of the Finno-Ugric people group. 7:01 Debated same origin because some say the word comes from Proto-Balto-Finnic and others that it comes from Proto-Slavic, either way it has to be one of them. 7:49 De humlone quoque, postquam ad monasterium venerit, decima ei portio de singulis servidis per singulos menses detur. Si vero hoc ei non suffit, ipse vel comparando, vel quolibet alio modo, sibi adquirat unde ad cervisas suas faciendas sufficienter habeat. Also, concerning the hops, after it comes to the monastery [from being collected along with the firewood], one tenth of the portion should be given each month to the porter. If, however, this is not enough [for him], he should either collect more himself or use any other different method [to get more], so he would have a sufficient supply to make his beer. Statutes of Adalhard of Corbie, Chapter 25. 8:35 The places I show on the screen don't actually have sources that strait up mention hops in brewing. They just mention large quantities of hops either being, taxed, moved, or cultivated and since such a large number of hops can only be used for brewing (since medicinal purposes never required such large numbers) it is usually accepted that these sources mentioned hops meant for brewing of beer. There is also Brevnov Monastery in Czechia that has some late 10th century sources about brewing where apparently the monks where scolded for spending too much time brewing and not enough time attending to their church duties. 9:34 Of course these strands of hops are more of a 19th century invention but these hop varieties were specifically chosen from local Bohemian or Bavarian hops as it was known that these strands had the best brewing qualities being perfected over centuries. 12:02 Of course the ban or restrictions put on beer brewing and the reasons behind it varied a lot from place to place. 12:20 England never actually banned beer brewing outright but there where laws and rhetoric that definetly promoted ale brewing over beer. 13:35 The point of the last quote, which as I stated I think is quite apt when considering the current situation in the world, was to show at least 'a' reason why so many people groups through out history made and consumed some sort of alcoholic beverages.

[@gunnarherzog5538]

Good video. As you feature history that actually has something to do with (among other things) the historical day-to-day, I was wondering whether you could make a video on medieval European river navigation and trade. I was sitting on the banks of the Rhine earlier this year, and - looking at the strong current - was wondering how any boat or river barge would struggle against that current without an engine. So was river trade just one-way, a means of getting goods to the coast, or was it also used to bring goods into the interior?

[@MLaserHistory]

I don't think I would make a video about that, at least not focused on that. Not really something I am that interested in. As for the quick answer rowing was the most common. You would be surprised how much a well constructed boat can glide against a strong current when rowed. For example the vikings sailed up the Rhine multiple times purely by rowing. Sailing could also be used but this was very circumstantial depending on which way the wind blew. Lastly sometimes the boats would be toad by carriages on the land on the banks of the river.

[@lamehick7511]

Most of "German" beer tradition is of Czech origin, though and it is widely acknowledged here in Germany. The one thing thing that sets German beers appart from everyone else is the German "Reinheitsgebot" which states that beer has to be made out of only four ingredients. Namely Hops, Malt, Yeast and Water. This was a measure taken historically to set appart true beers and ales. And you wouldn't believe how many distinct types of beers can be made with just these 4 ingredients.

Where did you get that definition of Ale? I never encountered that in any books and study material relating to beer in both Belgium and the US

[@MLaserHistory]

The word "Ale" just as the word "beer" can have many definitions and had many definitions in the past and can overlap with other beverages depending on how the brewing process is done and with what. My, as stated "very oversimplified", definition is just showing the most common use/definition of the word "ale" in medieval sources where it almost always meant a beverage brewed with gruit.

[@DMurphyApple]

its funny how bavaria, czech republic and belgium are the most famous places for beer in the world still today

[@DMurphyApple]

do you think this might influence archeological research, in the sense that they look for it more extensively?

[@MLaserHistory]

I doubt it. All the archeological finds done to this day that refer to beer (as in finding hops residue) was done accidentally. Meaning the archeological digs where looking for something else and just happened to find the remanences of hops in brewing and recorded it. I strongly doubt this will change as in the end it there are far more interesting and important, I would say, things that need to be looked at rather than trying to figure out who started brewing ale with hops first.

[@DaRealKakarroto]

Ranking of beer consumption per capita: 1. Czech Republic 2. Austria 3. Germany That too hints that it was introduced into the Netherlands later. Also, since in the Czech Republic the consumation is around 40% higher from the numbers I found, that might hint that it originates there. Though there might be a difference between north and south Germany, maybe the per capita consumption in Bavaria itself is much higher compared to the rest of Germany.

It is settled now. Q: Which came first: beer or wine? The earliest evidence leans toward beer, says Theresa McCulla, a curator at the National Museum of American History. Archaeologists found traces of cereal grains on mortars near Haifa, Israel, dated at around 13,000 years old.

[@alkehol8]

well first record in Bavaria was from/about some Slavic guy, that look for me as he brought it there

[@MLaserHistory]

The Slavic prisoner only cultivated hops, there is no evidence that the hops was used for brewing at that time so such conclusion would be only very speculative. If we knew how much hops was being cultivated we could make quite accurate assumptions on this as large supplies of hops where solely used for just brewing (this is the way we can confirm beer production in later sources) but the source doesn't specify that so we are very much in the dark on that whole thing.

[@wombat4191]

I don't know, would beer and ale have been seen as such different things back in the medieval times? There are generally many things from the medieval era that we classify way more explicitly these days than the people at the time did, one example being swords (we might classify swords as longswords, sabres, messers, etc., but a medieval person would just call them swords). Hops vs gruit might have not been seen as such a big differentiator that it would change the name or type of the brew, and I wouldn't be surprised if, during local transition period from gruit to hops, a brewer could use them interchangeably based on what they have at hand, or at least make two different brews with each without actually thinking that with one they are making different type of beverage than with the other. I'd also be extremely surprised if there wasn't a lot of throwing in both gruit and hops into the mix. Hops gained a lot of the special status because of the Reinheitsgebot limiting the ingredients of beer. Sure, hops must have been seen as the superior flavoring and presevative ingredient already before that because surely that would be the reason such law would be set in the first place. But I think the distinction between beer and ale that was mentioned in this video has only come about (at least partly) as a result of the Reinheitsgebot limiting beer to only allow hops, not before it. I really liked the video as a study into the origin and usage of hops, but the takeaway is that I think it might be a bit too much to claim that beer didn't exist before hops were discovered and used, as the distinction between different ways of flavoring probably didn't exist before hops became the dominant beer flavoring ingredient.

what's beer../?

[@GTAMPCZ]

However most medieval beers were not good beers. When the first pale lager beer was breweed in Pilsen (CZ) in 1842 with the help of bavarian brewer Joseph Groll, it was the actual birth of the beer we know today - the pils beer. In fact, majority of current beers are pilsners. The pilsner brewing method is different and introduces cool fermentation instead of top fermentation - the pils beers are pale and the "medieval" beers are dark and not very common nowadays. On the other hand, I find it quite sad that the very original, the Pilsner Urquell, is not getting enough credit and is generally not very well known worldwide, yet most famous marks from other countries (Heineken, Paulaner, Mahou, Stella Artois etc.) are basically just "copies" of the Pilsner Urquell. In many stores worldwide or even in Europe, you can find some "pils" beer, but only very few offer the actual original Pilsner Urquell. And how Americans have basically stolen the name "Budweiser" from the czech brewery located in Budweise (CZ), that's completely another story.
