We're heading out into the countryside as we go on the hunt for the wild plants that we can use to brew our ale in the final episode. We'll find out about herbs, hops and gathered and grown barley, whilst we'll also see if the raw ale test was a success or not.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
