Beer was not drunk in England in the medieval period - beer contains hops as a flavouring and the English believed very strongly that hops made you miserable, so they never used it. Instead they drank ale, which was flavoured with herbs such as alecost (cost marie).
On the continent of Europe beer was widely drunk.
Both English ale and European beer were widely drunk for many reasons:
- there had been a very long tradition of drinking these kinds of drinks before the medieval period
- ale and beer were safe to drink because the brewing process killed any bacteria in the water (although there was absolutely no understanding of that process at the time)
- ale brewing was a very lucrative and widespread industry, both as large industrial brewers and individuals brewing their own ale at home.

If you age the beer does it taste better?
It really depends on the beer. For the most part, beer does not age well and should be drunk within a year or so of being brewed. There are some stronger stouts that do age well, Bell's Expedition Stout is one such beer, the flavors becoming more complex and rich with time. The standard American Lager does not gain anything by being aged, just more apt to go 'skunky.'
