https://www.spreaker.com/user/13414994/show-113

In this episode, I discuss the medicinal uses of hops, the history of beer, Saint Hildegard von Bingen, how business interests gave us the mythical picture of the witch and why we have so many legends of ghosts and goblins... our ancestors were stoned!

Some cool history in your podcast, surprised to learn about medieval beer making.  The brew mistress with the hat and the cauldron and broom over the door, wow.  I used to home brew beer from grain and even planted hops around the garden to use.  Now it's been years since I gave up drinking and I'm just left with the hops, which are fun to grow and cover the fences every summer. Still warming up to hops as a tisane but maybe it would be good in a blend.

Thanks!  Yes, hops with Linden/Lime/Basswood blossoms would be nice.

Look forward to subscribing and listening... just as soon as my phone cooperates lol
