They burned them, because they were brewing beer that could heal, give strength and nourish you! - Then came the monks with hop and with the one and only license to brew.
Witch: Hat, cat, broomstick, cauldron all needed for beer brewing:
The high hat to be seen in the crowd in the market, cat to keep the mice from the wheat, broomstick to keep you brewery (home-made) clean and the cauldron for brewing.

Watched a vid on YT the other night about these African's whose earn their living by brewing Banana Beer. This was my first learning that one could brew beer from Bananas. I have a Banana tree, although I would have to have more than one to have enough Bananas to make a good portion of beer, but I love to try and make some.
You ever taste it? (Incidentally, I'm no longer a drinker of alcoholic beverages. Since am of the type that the cork don't go back in the bottle till it's empty, I made myself quit. Just thinking it might be helpful to know how to brew for barter.
I would love to be able to take a few drinks and quite, but I'm the type that if I buy a fifth of whiskey I ain't quitting until the bottle is empty, so I just decided it was time to give it up.

Nope, never had Banana Beer, but I bet it's Interesting to say the least....
