I guess the water was untreated, but distilling the beer killed the bacteria.
Beer is distilled? I think even the low alcohol levels acted as a bactericide. Same reason that beer (or wine) was the preferred drink through most of Europe until the introduction of coffee and tea, that achieved a similar result by boiling the water to make the drink.

Yes, they probably didn't understand about bacteria.
Back then beer was more like a fermented porridge. It was their meal.Quote:
