The National Brewers' Academy in New York issued this pocket guide for brewers in 1933. It is reminiscent of the "Brauer Kalendar" issued bi-annually by the Master Brewers Association in the years before prohibition. Extremely rare today, this book contains seemingly endless bits of information that come in handy for brewers on the job: charts, calculations, measurements, techniques and tips for countless processes inside the brewery, etc. From the preface: "This little volume is intended to be used as a Pocket companion by practical men, in any and all departments of breweries. By practical men, we mean all those who are in any way concerned in the manufacture or manipulation of the products; owners, managers, superintendents, foremen, bottlers, and engineers. We neither proclaim it nor offer it as a substitute for existing textbooks, or ampler treatises, but we believe it to contain what its title distinctively implies, Practical Points for practical people who have little time to sit down and work out complex problems. Just as Sancho Panza asked a blessing on 'the man who first invented sleep,' we hope, therefore, that many of our friends and readers will ask a blessing on us for making their arduous tasks more easy." Leather cover with gold stamped title and lettering.
