The article says: "What they did not contain was hops, as that was a later addition, first mentioned in Europe around 822 by a Carolingian Abbot and again in 1067 by abbess Hildegard of Bingen."

Hildegard von Bingen was only born in 1098. German Wikipedia talks about her writings on hops here https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echter_Hopfen#Geschichte not giving an exact date but saying "12th century".

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echter_Hopfen has a quote from her work "physica": „putredines prohibet in amaritudine sua" (its bitterness prevents foulness) which was written between 1150 and 1160 according to https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physica

So I think the date of 1067 is quite obviously an error or typo. Thank you for your attention. ~2026-37387-84 (talk) 18:41, 29 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
