Dear Bernard,
I was wondering if you have ever read over this article from The Atlantic magazine:
http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2014/01/the-archaeology-of-beer/355732/
I could not help but think of Uhtred, and the rest of the Danes swilling the Nordic Grog. I would like to get my hands on some of it.
Regards,
G. Koosis
