What did beer taste like 3,500 years ago? Join us as we embark on a historical brewing experiment, inspired by the fascinating discovery from the Bronze Age burial of the Egtved Girl in Denmark! We're attempting to recreate a brew based on the ancient residues found in her birch bark pot, containing wheat, lingonberries, honey, bog myrtle, and linden pollen.

Dressed as Vikings in our longhouse workshop, we take you through the entire process, from mashing grains over an open fire to the first taste test with our brave guests. Will this ancient ale be a hit or a historical miss?

Today I’m at Berrycroft Hub to welcome back Sally-Ann Spence to the show.

This time, she tells us the story of her epic 16-day road trip to the Arctic Circle in the dead of winter. Hear about battling -37°C temperatures, getting lost with a dead sat nav and ending up in Santa's Village, chipping ice off the car with a sledge, and surviving near misses with double-artic lorries and surprisingly speedy moose.

Sally Ann recounts the realities of a budget Arctic expedition with her non-driving son. If you enjoyed her previous appearance, you'll love hearing about this incredible adventure!

In this episode, Craig hosts Renee Petersen, author of the cookbook "Modern Urban Viking Cooking," for a live, simultaneous cooking session.

They attempt to prepare "Bacon Walnut Stew" from her book, discussing the historical context of the ingredients and techniques used in Viking Age cooking. Renee shares her extensive experience in living history reenactment, providing insights into the daily lives and diets of Vikings.

The central question remains: will their Viking spirit and culinary efforts result in a dish they "VIKE"?

Craig then asks Renee the questions he asks every guest to round out the episode.
