October 28, 2020 by Lissa Underhill

Our 29th A&S Research Paper comes to us from THL John Kelton of Greyhorn. John is a journeyman with the EK Brewers Guild and the guildmaster of the Honourable Company of Fermenters of The Barony of Concordia of the Snows. In this paper he takes us through the long history of Hippocras, a simple drink of spiced, sweetened wine. Two redacted recepies for the drink are included at the end of his paper for those who are interested in trying to make some themselves.
