In the past, beer was brewed on the farms – weak beer for thirsty drink, stronger beer for feasts and parties. For storage and shipping and as a drinking vessel, wood was the most common material, and the drinking frame for beer usually had decorative details. This book is divided into main sections on brewing vessels and drinking vessels with a separate chapter devoted to beer brewing so that the knowledge is also preserved.
