Episode 219: Drink up, witches!
Manage episode 477295557 series 2968715
Happy Spooky Wednesday, folks!
We're talking about two of Kala's favorite subjects this week: witches and beer. For thousands of years, the process of creating beer and other fermented beverages was a household task, and so it was mostly done by women. By the Middle Ages, these women (called brewsters or alewives) were taking that excess foamy, golden liquid and selling it in the local marketplaces! #GirlBoss But eventually the men weren't as excited about their success, and that's when things started to go downhill. How does this relate to witches, you might ask? I guess you'll have to listen to find out.
