Comment on Do you check historic brewerys?

Check out ingredients too. Like kveik yeast that ferments at 90-100 F, allowing people to brew without electrical chillers. Still to be found for use today, NB calls their strain “Lutra”.
Or alternates to hops and how they tied to the Catholic Church and the Protestant Reformation.

It was built 100 yers after lager brewing proces and ~500 years after hops usage. 200 years ago or so the brewing process became more industrialized, this brewery was modernized multiple times and was in use until 1977.
In about 200 years it basically didn’t changed. But these really old technologies and history is interesting too, you just refer to something at least 100 years off of what I refer to in my post.
I hope that I will visit National museum of brewing technology this fall, they have loads of instruments, machinery and stuff from 19th and early 20th century when they really experimented with the process. In my opinion it is most interesting part of industrial brewing history.
