Homebrewer here! The workday beers/ales of that period were often just alcoholic enough to keep them from spoiling, especially "small beer" types.
They saved the stronger stuff for after they were done with their day. (exceptions, of course)
This is part of why there was such a problem when cheap gin hit the market. People were used to drinking by the mug-full, and the gin was several orders of magnitude stronger than what they were used to. (even without the often harmful contaminants. )

Please don't stop with these kind of videos! Justinian's Constantinople, Shogunate Edo, Medieval Rome, Venice during the republic (maybe during the Renaissance?), Abassid Baghdad, etc... There's so much cool stuff!

Literally one of the most engaging and interesting historically correct tours of Tudor London. I love the old game look and Greensleeves played as old game music. Well researched and really interesting. This should be played in schools for history lessons, far more engaging than the dusty old books we had to learn from, I think kids would really engage with this. Brilliant in every way, love it!

Note to self: If I ever have 5 minutes to pack prior to a time jump back to Tudor London, don't forget the entire spice rack! That stuff will keep me alive for a while through trade... or someone will just kill me and take my stash.

Watched the whole thing - extremely good. YouTube algorithm be goofing, this is an absolute treat to watch.

The art style is adorable. Hope you keep it. It gives the channel more personality,

That was really interesting. While Elizabeth’s reign is seen as a golden age, life was pretty hard for the poor.

I love the idea of putting yourself into a historical context. It's the proximity to history that a lot of history lovers crave. So many narratives are top-down, but this bottom-up social history is cool. Keep doing these!

The most british thing I could never think about is having a license for begging

Please please please do more of these! They are fantastic and i know they must take ages to make but its incredible content, keep up the amazing work!

As someone who would watch your videos back in 2016 I'm so happy how your channel has evolved.

You do some genuine research rather than reading Wikipedia articles into a microphone like so many pophistory youtubers.

This is awesome. I can almost smell this version of London. Would love to see a version for Paris or Moscow or even Constantinople.

Jazzy hasn't just taken me back to the 16th century, he's taken me back to the 1990s with this game style. Well done sir!

People today couldn't imagine living like this -- historically speaking it's not that long ago. I knew bits and pieces of this but you really spelled out what day to day life was like.

Longest video yet. Really digging the art style and as always educating me on an obscure topic or event

[whostheplum]

Oh my god this is such a beautiful style and again.

The maturing of history youtubers and their formats like yours make me have hope.

I cant believe this guy isn't at the top of the algorithm cool information, a lot of effort and awesome graphics definitely subscribing.

[dargon]

I read a 300+ page book on this topic (The Tudor Age by Jasper Ridley), but you managed to cram nearly all that information in a 43 minute video and leave out the boring parts. Great job!

This was brilliant! Enthralling from start to finish and expertly presented with amazing art work 👍👍👍
