Raktažodžiai:
From antique beer bottles to closely guarded recipes and treasured historic architecture, brewery culture has a special place in American history. This fascinating book brings the material culture of breweries in the United States to life, from many regions of the country and from the early productions of the sixteenth century to today’s industrial operations. Herman Ronnenberg, a historical archaeologist and brewery expert who participates in major brewery clubs and publishes regularly on the topic, offers something for everyone from scholars to casual beer aficionados. He traces the evolution of techniques, equipment, raw materials, and architecture over five centuries, discusses informal production outside of breweries, and offers detailed information on makers marks, patents, labels, and beer containers that allows readers to identify items in their own collections. Well illustrated with photographs and drawings, this book will be popular with collectors and general readers, and essential for those working in historical archaeology, local history, material culture, and related fields.

Recenzijos

"This solid introduction to the mechanics of making beer places special emphasis on development within the US. By focusing literally on the nuts and bolts of the brewing industry, the author avoids having to explain the science of beer and also the complexities of styles and taste. The copious black-and-white photographs and illustrations enhance the work by depicting machinery and facilities devised for brewing, and the four appendixes provide a chronology of brewing in America, a useful compendium of brewing terms, information for collectors of artifacts, and finally data on archaeological research into earlier breweries. Summing Up: Recommended."-- C. L. Dolmetsch, CHOICE

Overall, the book is well-written and detailed, providing valuable information for those who are looking to begin research on breweries or for those who are looking for more information on more specialized topics covered in the book.... As Ronnenberg describes in the beginning of the book, only two historically researched books have been written about breweries in the United States, and Ronnenberg hopes that this book will inspire historians, anthropologists, and archeologists to begin research on breweries and the industry to help to expand the historical record.
