Women brewed and sold most of the ale drunk in medieval England, but after 1350, men slowly took over the trade. By 1600, most brewers in London -- as well as in many towns and villages -- were male, not female. This award-winning book investigates this transition, asking how, when, and why brewing ceased to be a women's trade and became a trade of men.Drawing on a variety of sources, such as literary and artistic materials, court records, accounts, and administrative orders, this book describes how brewsters (that is, female brewers) slowly left the trade. It tells a story of commercial growth, guild formation and changing technologies.
