About this title: Often radical and controversial, Buhner has clearly and beautifully explored the mysterious universal beliefs between ancient arid indigenous cultures as to the spirituality and healing power of plants and fermentation.

"Great encyclopedia / recipe book of the brews of our ancestors, with the convincing argument that we have co-evolved with plants since our very beginnings; perhaps, he continues, our ability to dream and think arose by the use of plants."
"Free your brewing from the tyranny of hops and barley!
This is a specialized book. I gave it five stars, but I would only recommend it to someone who has interests in brewing and herbalism.
I certainly don't agree with everything Buhner says, but there is much food for thought mixed in among the recipes. And there are plenty of recipes.
This is a book to read slowly, browse through again every few years, brew from, and keep around for reference. As I learn more about the wild plants in my part of the world, it is fun to discover how many of them have historically been used for brewing; and how many of the resulting beverages were considered not just tasty, but good for you too."
"Love this book, beer used to be made from many different plants and used medicinally. Here is the history of beer way back to traditional cultures and recipes. I read it and then gave it away to a friend because I have no intention of making beers, but I miss the book because it is so wise."
