Liquid Lore Ep. 22: Underground Brewing Welcome back to Liquid Lore, where we dive into homebrewing history & fermentation fun facts. During the plague, brewers literally went underground — fermenting beer in cellars and catacombs. 
Cool temps slowed fermentation and kept beer fresh longer.
Turns out, catacombs were the perfect place to brew in secret (and survive the season). Even later, during Prohibition, caves in St. Louis and the Ozarks were used to stash & chill beer and spirits out of sight. 🍺 #beerhistory #beerfacts #catacombs
