As?

He wrote that the water was so pure "dare I not prefer it before good Beere, as some have done, but any man will choose it before Bad beere."

In the above sentence does as some have done mean "some have chosen the water though"?
I wonder if as has this kind of usage.

Thanks in advance!

You're right. Some have chosen the water in preference to good Beere, which the author feels is an unconscionable thing to do. I would not file bankruptcy, as some have done.
