The United States Of Beer Author: Dane Huckelbridge

ISBN: 9780062389770 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 304 Published: 4 July 2017 Country of Publication: US Dimensions (cm): 21.2 x 12.3 x 2.0 Description: From the author of “the definitive history of bourbon” (Sacramento Bee) comes the epic true tale of how beer conquered America, from b.c. to Budweiser and beyond

Equally irreverent and revealing, Dane Huckelbridge's masterful cultural history charts the wild, engrossing, and surprisingly complex story of our favorite alcoholic drink, showing how America has been under the influence of beer at almost every stage. From the earliest Native American corn brew (called chicha) to the waves of immigrants who brought with them their unique brewing traditions, to the seemingly infinite varieties of craft-brewed suds found on tap today, beer has claimed an outsized place in our culture that far transcends its few simple ingredients-water, barley, and hops. And yet despite its ubiquity-Americans consume some six billion gallons of beer each year-the story of beer in the USA is as diverse and fascinating as the country itself, overflowing with all the color and character of America's many peoples and regions.
