On the TV program they took heavily contaminated water from
a duck pond and made beer from it which was safe to drink
When the first settlers went to America they made beer from acorns,
not realising that the water from streams etc. was safe to drink.

Here in Burton the breweries were monastic creations and I recall reading somewhere that the daily allowance per monk was 8 pints.
There's no real evidence that the church was significantly more aggresive than the local gentry (although they were probably "tanked" as well)
Bernard
started up a few hundred years ago.
They used to give free beer to people at church on Sundays

The workers on the pyramids were fed beer as food.
Water in the UK until recent centuries was undrinkable so
everyone drunk beer.
Water wouldn't keep long enough on explorer ships they had to rely
on beer.
Factory production lines and bottle making were first invented
for beer production.
I think it said three of the early US Presidents owned breweries.

If it's sharp it's an AF problem which isn't uncommon with
24-35mm lenses there's hardly any movement involved. That's
