Women Dominated The Beer Industry...Until They Were Declared Witches
Vložit
- čas přidán 21. 05. 2022
- Let's talk some Beer History! For thousands of years, the history of beer was dominated by women. Ancient people worshipped female beer goddesses, female brewsters who filled Viking beer halls, and female saints who performed beer miracles. In medieval Europe, alewives made a living selling beer from their homes - until men decided they were witches. In the 16th century, men grew suspicious of female brewers, who had their own income source.

Wow, I had no idea there was such a parallel between ale women and witch imagery. That was by far the most interesting piece in the video, but all of it was interesting. Thanks for another great piece of historical information.
Beta!!!
how do you know its real if youve never heard about it until now from some underground shit channel? apparently anything is real on utube if you make sure to write into the life-blockchain.
Bet it started from one dude who was jealous his brew was inferior.
“She’s a witch”- sobbing brewer, pointing at the woman with the best drink
Leave it to Christianity to ruin a good thing
So, technically, Ceres, goddess of grain, is also a beer goddess.🍺🍻
My only problem with this channel is its too new for me to binge 15 episodes in a row.
Give it a week.
Where there's a will...there is a way. Go for it.😊
Can you guys make a video about what beer companies did to survive prohibition?
they bought stocks and municipal bonds, shifted production towards baby formula/food(including all the scandals), and basically started manufacturing toilets. pretty much all the things that the alcohol industry gave life to.
iirc in finland houses were required by law at a time to grow hops
E: indeed, in the mid 1700s a law was written requiring every house to have a hops garden which is why even today some of the old buildings have remains of them
Ooooooh. That's interesting.
If I were to live in Finland and own an old house, I would totally enjoy having hops.
As a women in the beer industry, thank you! 🍻
What is a woman?
As a beer drinker, thank you!

Man, that's something. The world owes its thanks to women. The original makers of beer. Until the Black Death. Beer does seem manly to men. Great topic.
Beta.
*5:56** yeah, the black death ruined a lot of things back in the day*

Beer, healthcare, cosmetics just a few things men kicked women out of once they realized there was money in it
Well, indiscriminate men, that is.
IT is another notable field women were by replaced men.
Ha-ha
@@SquanchyCatDad between making and putting punchcards in computers and working on technical things on modern computers, there are a lot of differences.
One is secretary work, the other is IT.
Also, men naturally went for IT stuff.
Both genders should be part of healthcare. I agree.
I love beer and witchcraft. I say we bring back the witchy aesthetic but in a good way.
would have been so nice to come back to the hovel and be greeted by ye wench waiting with a lukewarm flagon in hand and two more batches bubblin n growlin away in the corner
It had been in a good way. Mass hysteria made a good thing into a bad thing. I’m so glad I wasn’t alive during those times.
God you guys are dense and cringe
Could easily market a Witchy themed beer. Problem is Christianity will read its ugly head as always and label the beer satanic/do whatever they can to boycott and band a beer like that.
With the general level of hysteria that's currently afoot in some sectors of our society, there's no telling who the next witches may be.
We already know. They’ve made it pretty clear that it’s conservatives or people who lean conservative

Katie Luther, Martin Luther’s wife was a nun prior to meeting him and she brewed her own beer.
Martin Luther drank Einbecker Bier, which is available in some of the USA.
Weird History you always deliver thank you :)
Always love a video that starts out with the Sandman and stone cold smashing brews. Takes me back to my childhood 😂😂😂
Coolness overcomes. That is such a beer tagline, it hurts.
For now on, Weird History and ANYTHING affiliate with the word "Weird" will be my weekly watch. Thank you for this underground weird history of beer 🍺🍻🥰
You are by FAR the best channel on youtube!
This gives a whole new perspective on a man asking his woman to bring him a beer.
Thanks for this! 🍻
My sister was a bit into witchcraft back in Highschool and now works as a professional bartender.
Why do you think they're called spirits?🥂🥃😊
So glad I subscribed to Weird History and their food channel 😅😅
I am a women and I’m a home brewer and a witch!
😂 😱
This is dope. Please do the history of distilling!
The fact that the opening statement about witchcraft accusations being the norm for empowered women isn't even inaccurate is sad.
Wow the guy deciding that women needed to be having babies instead of owning businesses sounds very relevant today.
A+ video!
Fascinating history!
Actually just watched the premiere of the 4K version of C'est La Vie by B*Witched before this, had no idea this would link to witches!
"Africa, Traditional Brewing In, has a long history. The *ancient* Egyptians brewed beer and tribes throughout the African continent also brewed beer long before any European settlers brought their brewing techniques to Africa. Beer in Africa today has two main influences: tribal traditions passed down for centuries and European settlement....Women were the traditional brewers of African beers and men the traditional consumers. Even today, women prepare the traditional brews for the market, weddings, ceremonies, and other celebrations. African tribes have been brewing forms of sorghum beer longer than is recorded in history books." No witches in Africa. Still a big part of their local and rural beer brewing.
Yuengling is the oldest brewery in America and is ran by the 4 daughters of the son Richard Yuengling who bought it from his father. Under their leadership and passion they have brought us one of the best light beers in the US today. Flight 😌
Why isn't there a St. Hildegard's or St. Brigid's brand of beer? In Germany, Hildegard's home country, monks are the namesakes of beer brands and credited as the most important early brewers.
Probably because of the association between brewing and witchcraft, as this whole side of history woud've been written by religious (male) figures. There's also a belgian beer marketed as traditionally brewed by monks, Leffe, IIRC
the bit on online recipes is so on point.
Omfg. Thank you for mentioning food recipe blogs being a damn novel to get to the recipe
Independent brewers and distillers have their own place in the world now too. And a good friend of mine who distills her own brandy openly enjoys witchcraft as an extra "get bent" to these same stereotypes that forced women out to begin with
My maiden name means “Female Brewer”
I hate beer. Lmao!!
Raugupatis and Raugutiene are Lithuanian not Polish, however to add to your theme, piwnica or Polish for 'basement' or 'cellar' and more specifically 'beer cellar' or 'beer tavern, can be split into 'piwo' meaning beer and 'nica' making it a feminine word and I have read that Piwnica is a Polish Goddess. Love your videos!
One has to wonder what other things women invented or made better that men decided to take credit for. Certainly in science that has been the case with various women.
Venus figurines. Agriculture. But the latters' just my crackpot theory, idk if theres "real" evidence for it.
Suggestion: The Weird history of fondue 🫕 and the 1970's fondue craze.🍞🧀🍫
Nice post.
Absolutely Amazing I Love Beer & Women ❤️
I didn’t realize how much beer and wine people actually drank hundreds of yrs ago. The alcohol % was much lower, but it seems it was the drink of choice for all. Interesting.
The water was too unsafe to drink, the process of making alcohol helps sterilize any nasties in the water.
Drinking beer while watching video about beer history 🍺
God, I miss drinking... Smh... Suddenly turning up pregnant in my 30's sucks 😔...My Husband doesn't understand as he really isn't a connoisseur like I was.
Being black and a broken hearted woman I hope you get a really good emotional support team together because if you have depression now it will double or triple after giving birth. Post pardum depression is brutal. Take care for real nobody deserve to live a life of suffering.
You are cringe, a connoisseur?
And what do you mean "suddenly turning up pregnant"? You were obviously having sex lol. You sound as entitled as your profile pic looks
In Ireland the doctor can prescribe Guinness to pregnant women as it's high in vitamins and minerals like iron.
I thought medieval water was bad. So if you didn't drink beer, wtf were you supposed to drink? Urine?
Honey and bear saliva would produce mead, not beer.
Ah, the connection between beer and witches makes sense!
Please do a video on Milton Hershey. Thanks.
Awesomeness ❤
“I like a light beer brewed for men” biggest cap ever
Wow.. just wow. That sure explains a lot.
Never heard of a medieval themed restaurant chain before
good video
We had these in the early 80s in Colorado, way earlier than your cited introduction date of 1994.
I'm sure viewers who don't know the story will love to hear about ALL of rum being used as currency 💰 in Australia during it's colonial period { including it's negative effects on the indigenous population } . 🥃♑️✍️🇦🇺🇳🇴
yes id love to learn about this
In Canada it was Whiskey
In colonial America it was corn whiskey. The second rebellion in the independent United States centers around it...
In Brasil (here spelled incorrectly over a faulty keyboard) it was Cachaça that was used to pay enslaved workers
Do a video on mead, please!
Wierd History Food or whatever 🤔are 2 of my favorites shows on CZcams. Always interesting and entertaining and funny too 😄
And now I know another interesting fact .
TY
The hooters joke, tho 😂
🤣 This clips inspired Miller Lite for the latest Ad of Vengeance.
Witches brew is an awesome song by crosses.
If you learn how to authentically brew beer from grain and not from a malt extract there are plenty of texts to remind the novice brewer that women are acknowledged to be the first to perfect the Beer brewing process (any regrets there ladies?).
Much like all those delicious things we men love to eat, these were likely first imagined, cooked and served to hungry men hundreds of years ago by perhaps the very same ladies that originally brewed these delicious Ale's.. Completely unrelated, I do believe, to make a good beer one must also be a reasonably good cook, feel free to set me straight if you think I'm wrong
😉
Totally.
Everything is in the flavour.
A skilled cook with a taste for beer will be able to make nice brews, after some trial and errors to perfect their style.
It is a nice coincidence this video came out just as I finished reading "A Woman's Place is in the Brewhouse" by Tara Nurin. You stressed a lot of the same things as in her book. She goes into more detail on mythologies and challenges/opportunities women faced as home brewers and entrepreneurs. She also had originally written about women brewers being responsible for our modern concepts about witches, but in this book she writes that she later researched and learned that there were other cultural symbols that may have played a bigger role in these concepts rather than the clothing and brew traditions of alewives. I liked that she presented both points of view. It was also fun to read about modern breweries run by women or partnerships between men and women. I like also her world focus showing historical and modern breweries and women's roles in Europe, the Americas, Asia, Africa and Australia/New Zealand.
5:53 dang, Europe got ratioed by a rat
Oh what’s not to love except “ale fever” nothing cures that better than more ale.👍👍🍺🍺and of course the church just had to get involved as always. Nothing beats a party pooper like the church. I park my broomstick wherever I like.

Women also dominated computer science until men decided programming was a boys club and then there were hardly any female programmers for a long time but now it’s getting better in recent years
Um, no. Links to actual info
@@troyounce3295 wow… you don’t know who Grace Murray-Hopper is… wow… you never studied CS did you? No, not Counter-Strike…
Most of why y athe weew wis
@@haruruben One person does not equate to "dominating". And at best I suppose you could say they did because so many women were hired to do punch cards because the machines used to make them were like typewriters and many were trained to use those for being secritaries.
Women were literally the original "computers".
@@SilvaDreams omg she wasn’t the only woman. Go look it up, so lazy. You can see photos of the worker pools of “computers” which were humans and nearly 100% women… in fact I can’t find a single male amongst the ranks of these early computationists
Now do popular ancient brews that did not survive to modern day.
This is great however wrong in several things the broom or Besome came before the ale maids it has many uses. The hats are also debatable. However riding the broom and the way the hat was warn could have started then. 😁
Damn this was so illuminating. So thats why witches were portrayed with big cauldrons of "potions for spells." They were women who didn't need another man to live!!
I'd imagine it was so big bc water caused dysentery and stuff like that. So it'd be like beer was wayyyy safer than drinking water bc if you drank water not boiled long enough you just die back then
good times
Good but just covers ancient and the US and European beer culture.
Dig into the BIWOC brewers legacy over centuries!
Intriguing to see how the iconic broom is seen as a witch’s tool, yet Zoigl brewers also use it as an indicator of their beer’s availability.
On a related note, Anna of Beim Gloser in Windischenbach Germany is the only female zoigl brewer in recent history - she can often be found serving in the family’s zoiglstube on their open weekends!
What about monks…?
what about mead?
now do Circus Peanuts........id love to know how that horrible candy came to be.
Waiting for a miracle but I'll settle for a beeracle...
I knew about this, and honestly it pissed me off how men still think to this day that they invented beer pffft
Just kill the competition. Very masculine.
That and the spanish word for witch is Bruja, And also the etymology of that is From German Brühan or Bruhan, the name of an old family of beer brewers, composed of early modern German breu 'brew' + the personal name (Jo)han (John), a common nickname for a helper. That alone and the broom thing is too much to not be right.
11:32…John sounds like he is choking on some kind of human/male based sausage extremity.
didn't have to diss bud ice tho
Beer was also medicinal back then too.
beer googles got plenty of folks together...*chuckle*...pretty sure that wasn't magic
4:58 - …or liters
Beer miracles: Beeracles.
Bud ice what were they thinking?
Bourbon next.
