Looking back into the history of ales in England and Scotland, there is a rich tradition of brewing.. Hops were introduced into england in the 15th century and before that they used alot of herbs such as bog myrtle and rosemary and the like.. kegging beer in wooden barrels for long periods of time was common because of the cold and the strength of the first sparge (boiling water) over the malted barley.
