Supported style connections
Where the current style foundation connects
Absence from this list does not mean an ingredient cannot be used. Presence means BEU currently has source support for the relationship.
No BEU005 style relationship is asserted for this foundation node yet.

Why this ingredient connects
2 relevant foundation edges.
affected by process
Kettle Hopping
Hop material is introduced through hot-side hopping, with outcomes dependent on material and process context.

Where this ingredient connects geographically
Origin place and brewing-tradition context are explicit. The absence of a place is not inferred as a global exclusion.

Historical anchors for this ingredient identity
These links contextualize documented use or historical evidence; they do not claim the ingredient was universally used from that point onward.
822 CE
Corbie record commonly cited for hops in brewing
BEU records the cited documentary anchor without calling it the first-ever human use of hops in beer; earlier use remains a separate historical question.
23 April 1516
Bavarian beer provision issued at Ingolstadt
BEU treats this as a specific Bavarian legal event, not as the invention of beer purity, a timeless recipe, or a rule that applied universally across all German territories and eras.
c. 1600 CE
Large-scale commercial brewing in London around 1600
This is a historiographical scale interpretation based on surviving records, not a claim that London uniquely invented industrial brewing at a single date.

historical event
Bavarian beer provision issued at Ingolstadt
The Bavarian provision associated with Wilhelm IV was issued at Ingolstadt on 23 April 1516 and specified barley, hops, and water for beer in the cited regulation.
