Do you know the difference between a #medieval #inn, #tavern and #alehouse? *
An alehouse, as the name suggests, sells ale - originally made by alewives. They're on private property & this is where common folk go. Cheese & bread are also available.
A tavern on the other hand sells wine. Merchants & the gentry go here. The worst ones sell cheap wine. The best ones show you their barrels.
Inns are for the wealthy. They accommodate travellers & while they may sell some ale or mead, their purpose is rest.
*In the later middle ages all establishments diversified. Alehouses became the precursor to pubs. Taverns started offering more options in both drink & food, & inns became hostels & motels markedly nicer than their earlier communal bedrooms.
