Beer reading ... and drinking
A couple of friends gave me and my husband The History of Beer in America by Bill Yenne, which tells about America's beer brewing legacy, starting with the colonies and corn-based beer.
The best part of the gift was that it came with a tin bucket of 18 beers of varying recipes collected from American history. It definitely added sensory elements to the reading. I've always approved of hands-on learning. The book continues on a tour of famous breweries and taverns, even the in-house breweries of our first presidents. George Washington loved his dark porter beer. With German immigrants came amber and lighter lager. The coffee table book shows letters and poems begging for this beer. And then industry begins. It was fun to see where many of the better-known beer companies originated. Now I need a history of liquor book. 0 comments from 0 users
