Resilience of a brewed beer

[Tony1951]

In Greg hughes' book there a fantastic beer time line, entitiled a 'brief history of brewing' and it states:

"822 Abbot Adalhard from the Benedictine Monastrey in Corbie northern France writes a series of statutes covering the running of the monastry which includes gathering sufficient hops for making beer - the first documented link between hops an brewing"

"1412- The earliest record of hopped beer being brewed in Engand"

An interstesting entry - "1710- The use of bittering agents other than hops is banned by parliment in Englandto secure revenue for tax. As a result, hops become the dominant bittering agent inbeer throughout the western world"

Interesting find MyQul. I have that book but have really just dipped into it for recipes and scanned the hop charts for Alpha Acid numbers. Good find.
