Ale was easily made at home from barley which was grown by most farming serfs and brewed by their wives. The ale could be brewed quickly and frequently, giving a constant supply of drinkable (but not very alcoholic) beverage.

In towns and cities there were professional brewers making stronger ale (godale in Middle English) and ale-houses (tavernes) where drink could be bought.
