» Look Inside The Book
Simply put, 100 Years of Brewing is one of the greatest works ever published on the brewing industry. Originally published in 1903, the 718-page oversized book is a comprehensive look at beer-making around the world throughout the 19th century with its main focus being on the United States. It includes detailed historical writeups on virtually every American brewery in operation in 1903, accompanied by hundreds of illustrations of breweries and the people behind them. Also included are thorough discussions of every aspect of brewing history -- social, technological, architectural, statistical, etc. These 1974 reprints are becoming extremely scarce as beer enthusiasts and researchers have discovered the depth and value of the information contained therein.
