Northern Monk Brew Company and the University of Leeds have joined forces to brew Mhór, a beer inspired by a 5,000-year-old recipe made in Northern England. Brian Dickson the Northern Monk head brewer and Dr Sam Gartland from University of Leeds talk to Sam Nixon about how the process came about. Although few records of ancient beer-drinking remain, Dr Gartland’s research analysed tablets written by Roman soldiers near Hadrian’s Wall, demanding beer. An ancient inscription on display at the University helped Dr Gartland to find that peers of those soldiers would have been posted in Yorkshire and drinking beer at the time.
