Episode 31: Why did people drink so much beer in the middle ages?
A few books and articles I read for this one.
The main two were standard books on the history of beer and ale:
Ian Hornsey, 2003, A History of Beer and Brewing. RSC
Richard Unger, 2004, Beer in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. University of Pennsylvania Press.
Then a few articles and books on specific aspects:
Charles Bamforth, 2004, Beer: Health and Nutrition. Blackwell had a lot on beer as a health food in the middle ages, and defences of beer.
Franz Meussdoerffer, 2009, A Comprehensive History of Beer Brewing, in Handbook of Brewing: Processes, Technology, Markets, ed. HM Ersslinger.
