Beer might seem as American as baseball, but that has not always been true: Rum and whiskey were the drinks of choice in the 1830s, with only a few breweries making heavy, yeasty English ale. In this first-ever history of American beer, Maureen Ogle tells its epic story, from the German immigrants who invented it to the upstart microbrewers who revived it. With panoramic scope and sweep, Maureen Ogle creates a riveting portrait of the innovators and entrepreneurs behind our familiar brews and restores an essential piece of our American story.
