A Halloween/Samhain treat for you.
Oct. 30th, 2006 07:02 pmOne of my favorite radio shows, that I listen to every week, is "The Splendid Table," about the culture of food in our lives.
Well, on yesterday's show, there was a really interesting (and convincing) interview with a beer historian that linked all the major icons we associate with witches: The tall, conical hat, the broomstick, the cauldron and the cat, with the art of beermaking in the middle ages.
The story is streamed online, here: Witches and beer. Enjoy!
And if you're going to (an adult) Halloween party, tomorrow night, or even if you're not, clink your bottles together to the health of the witches of old, who supplied you with your cheer.
