Two statements, and then I'll move on...
1) Not all beer is hopped (or very heavily hopped). I have brewed some
exquisite unhopped ales, robust and malty, which would make great bases for
distillation.
2) Why do you 'not' want hopped ales for distillation? Is it an A&S thing,
or a flavor factor? Hops were used in period...
