Beer Ladies Podcast

This week we’re talking to Dr Susan Flavin, a food historian who recently has been part of an epic project to recreate a 16th century brewhouse and brew a beer of the time. In this fascinating project - link below - the team used a recipe based on a beer once served in Dublin Castle, in order to not only taste it, but to learn more about the role beer played in the early modern period. This one will tickle the beer history nerds and casual beer fans alike!ICYMI: For the time being, episodes will be posted every 2 weeks.What we’re drinking:Kettlesmith x Woolley Grange -  Alchemy GruitBallykilcavan - Bambrick’s BrownLinks:The FoodCult Project: https://foodcult.eu/Understanding Early Modern Beer: An Interdisciplinary Case-Study: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/historical-journal/article/understanding-early-modern-beer-an-interdisciplinary-casestudy/76C118F73B8D35FED9E5B69CB3E966FBFood and Power in Dublin Castle: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/historical-journal/article/food-and-power-in-sixteenthcentury-ireland-studying-household-accounts-from-dublin-castle/C179A0BBE0E6FA8A4C485727CF093756Susan on Twitter/X: @flavin_susan Beer Ladies Links: linktr.ee/beerladies#beerladiespodcast #beerpodcast #beerhistory #irishbeerhistory
