The 1990 Leeds Symposium on Food History &  Traditions was published as "Liquid
Nourishment": Potable Foods and Stimulating Drinks (Edinburgh UP, 1993), ed.
 C. Anne Wilson.  Essays include Peter Brears, Brewing at Hickleton; Stuart
Davies, "Vinetem Britannicum": Cider & Perry in the Seventeenth Century; Peter
Brears, Wassail! Celebration in Hot Ale; C. Anne Wilson, Water of Life: Its
History and Early History."  I take this from WorldCat (as I eat my breakfast).
