Summary
An epic history of beer brewing in America traces the pivotal contributions of mid-nineteenth-century German immigrants, who over the course of fifty years helped to render beer one of the nation's most popular beverages, in a chronicle that evaluates the contributions of Frederick Pabst, Adolphus Busch, and prohibitionists.
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
In the first-ever history of American beer, Maureen Ogle tells its epic story, from the immigrants who invented it to the upstart microbrewers who revived it.
Â
Beer might seem as American as baseball, but that has not always been true: Rum and whiskey were the drinks of choice in the 1840s, with only a few breweries making heavy, yeasty English ale. When a wave of German immigrants arrived in the middle of the nineteenth century, they promptly set about re-creating the pleasures of the biergartens they had left behind.
 Just fifty years later, the American-style lager beer they invented was the nationâs most popular beverageâand brewing was the nationâs fifth-largest industry, ruled over by fabulously wealthy titans Frederick Pabst and Adolphus Busch. But when anti-German sentiments aroused by World War I fed the flames of the temperance movement (one activist even declared that âthe worst of all our German enemies are Pabst, Schlitz, Blatz, and Millerâ), Prohibition was the result. In the wake of its repeal, brewers replaced flavor with innovations like marketing and lite beer, setting the stage for a generation of microbrewers whose ambitions reshaped the drink.
 Grab a glass and settle in for the surprising story behind your favorite pint.
