If you’re into this kind of thing, I’d like to recommend Historic Brewing Techniques, The Lost Art of Farmhouse Brewing by Lars Marius Garshol.[1] Absolutely fascinating and practical. It does focus on Norway to a large extent, but covers a little from other north-eastern European countries too. His associated blog is also great reading.[2] The author was really instrumental in the mainstream exposure of kveik yeasts.[3]
Another interesting little book I have is Old British Beers and How to Make Them, by Harrison and the Durden Park Beer Circle. Not medieval, but still some really great recipes for approximating a lot of old beer styles.[4]
There are also some good blogs still around on this subject. I’d recommend Shutup about Barclay Perkins[5] as a good starting point. The most recent article there is about brewing a stout from 1812.

- phillc73 3y agoActually, the Shutup about Barlcay Perkins link should have gone directly to the blog's homepage. The author writes something every day, not always exclusively about beer but mostly related to it. https://barclayperkins.blogspot.com/ https://barclayperkins.blogspot.com/
