The art of fermentation is arguably as old as civilisation itself. Ancient Ales were not necessarily made with malt or hops, but from whatever gifts nature had on offer. Come learn the ancient art of creating alcohol from common ingredients and medicinal plants. We will be using fresh harvested herbs to make a boutique batch of ale. In this two hour workshop we will cover a brief history of fermented beverages, easily available ingredients to use, and go step by step through the brewing process. You will be able to sample some Ales that are made using this simple process, and will take home an Ale Recipe Guide to help you get started brewing your own Ancient Ale.
