» Look Inside The Book
Published in Chicago for many years before prohibition, Der Braumeister was, in its own words, "A monthly review dedicated to the progress of the brewing trade." Its subscribers were America's brewmasters, and the journal was the "official organ" of state and local brewmasters' associations around the country. Naturally, every issue was written entirely in German, the native language of the great majority of American brewmasters before prohibition. This volume contains the complete year of 1890 editions, bound in a heavy marbled cover with a gilt-letterd spine. It was customary for brewers, at the end of each year, to send out their issues to be bound, then add them to their private library of brewing resources. Each issue contains approximately 30 pages of articles about a wide variety of brewing topics and news of the brewing industry. The final 90 pages of this volume consisit entirely of the advertisements that appeared at the back of each issue. It is 90 pages of beautifully-illustrated ads for every imaginable aspect of brewing -- malt, hops, pumps, filters, copper kettles, cooperage, wagons, refrigeration, corks, bungs, etc, etc.
