[Sca-cooks] RESOURCE: History of Beer Additives

[jenne at fiedlerfamily.net]

Forward as appropriate.

I have just recieved via ILL an article:

Behre, Karl-Ernst. "The History of Beer Additives in Europe-- a review,"
Vegetation history and archaeobotany, v. 8, no. 1-2 (1999), p. 35-48.

This has an extensive discussion of hops and archaeological evidence for
hops and sweet gale, with maps, lists of other plant species used for beer
flavouring, and plants used for medicinal beers.

(Note: My copy is a very poor reproduction but still clear enough to
read.)
