[Sca-cooks] Hildegrad's mention of hops in beer?

[David Friedman]

There are two mentions:

XXI. Hops

...  Nevertheless, its bitterness inhibits some spoilage in beverages to 
which it is added, making them last longer.

(different chapter)

XXVII. Ash Tree

...

...  .

The first doesn't specify beer, but I think the second pretty clearly 
implies that beer is sometimes made with hops.
