Published annually in the years before Prohibition, the Year Book of the United States Brewers Association was a virtual snapshot of the state of the American brewing industry from the perspective of the brewery owners themselves. The book typically featured the proceedings of the Association's annual convention (speeches made by the brewers, reports of the various committees of the Association, etc.) as well as an assortment of writings and essays of matters relating to beer and brewing. These annual publications, issued roughly from 1909 to 1920, are true historical source material. Unlike books written by historians of a later generation, the Year Books are a direct record of their time -- giving a unique glimpse into how the brewers themselves interpreted and responded to the various issues that impacted brewing in America. Also included are detailed Statistical appendices showing annual beer production numbers, and information regarding imports, exports, raw materials, etc., and a complete list of members of the USBA.
