[...] Merryn and Graham Dineley, she an archaeologist specialising in exploring ancient ale-making, he a craft brewer specialising in actually making ancient ales, have produced a fabulous downloadable poster on the visible remains of Viking brewhouses in Britain, which you can find here. [...]
Thanks for posting a most interesting poster.
Thanks for liking the poster.
Great article. I especially love the work of Graham and Merryn Dineley. I highly suggest reading their papers on brewing in Skara Brae. They use to be free only a year ago with a simple online search, but now it seems they can only be found through a paid academic journal subscription. If I remember correctly the ale was dry and brewed with meadowsweet. Anyhow, here are the cited papers:
Dineley, M & Dineley G., 2000 “Neolithic Ale: Barley as a source of sugars for fermentation” in Fairbairn, A. (ed) Plants in the Neolithic and Beyond; pub Oxbow Books

Kenny – thank you so much for your comments. Glad you like the Neolithic stuff as well!
My papers should still be here, free to download:http://independent.academia.edu/MerrynDineley

Thank you Zythophile.
