Beer
by Gregg Smith |
(Donated by Alex Kennedy)
A history of beer from the dawn of time to about four years ago.
Probably much more than you wanted to know about the importance of beer
to the Revolutionary/Continental cause and who drank what and
when.
Some of the recent history is interesting on the rise of microbrewing
and
legalization of homebrewing, in case you were not paying attention at
the
time. |
The Beer Wars
by Philip Van Munching |
(Donated by Franz Albright)
A hilarious journey through the beer industry of mostly the ‘70s and
‘80s, and the story of who was trying to do what to whom. After
seeing
how beer drinkers strings were being jerked, tugged and yanked you will
be more convinced then ever of the righteousness of brewing your
own.
The book is well written, easy to read and is difficult to put down
once
you start--an excellent summer read. |
