Bringing beer history to life, Viking Age Brew takes readers on a
lavishly illustrated tour of rustic brewhouses fueled by wood and
passion. Sahti is a Nordic farmhouse ale that is still crafted in
accordance with ancient traditions dating back to the Viking Age. It is
often thought of as an oddity among beer styles, but this book
demonstrates that a thousand years ago such ales were the norm in
northern Europe, before the modern-style hopped beer we drink today
reached the masses. Viking Age Brew is the first English-language book
to describe the tradition, history, and hands-on brewing of this ale.
Whether you are a brewing novice or an experienced brewer, this book
will unlock the doors to brewing ancient ales from medieval times and
the Viking Age.
