The Legends and Folklore of Beer: Remedies, Witches & Saints

The Legends and Folklore of Beer: Remedies, Witches & Saints

Beer is a popular drink in many parts of the world. In the US, it's the most popular alcoholic beverage. Throughout the centuries, beer becomes the drink of choice in eras and places where drinking water is unsafe for consumption.

Yet its continued popularity over such a long timespan leaves it ripe for a whole host of legends and folklore to emerge. Linked with saints, gods, and even witches, beer has many stories to tell.

Let's explore some of them in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!
