 Never heard of a Brauer-Kalendar? If you had been an American brewmaster a hundred years ago, you wouldn't have dared go to work without yours. Issued bi-annually by the Master Brewers' Association (headquartered in Chicago), the Brauer-Kalendar came to be a standard tool for virtually every practicing brewmaster in the pre-prohibition era. It is a pocket-sized, 300-page reference manual containing just about every piece of information a brewer might need at his fingertips in the course of his day inside the brewery: temperature charts, brewing calculations, equipment diagrams, measurements, formulas, beer style definitions, bibliography of brewing books, directory of fellow brewmasters, and countless other references. Naturally, the entire Brauer-Kalendar is written in German, the official language of the Master Brewer's Association for many years.
Though distributed in great numbers, very few copies of these early reference books have survived, presumably because they were heavily used on a daily basis and suffered excessive wear. This 1903-1904 edition features a handy little case that can be opened and closed with a small cloth tab.
