Beer History
Beer has a great history. It has contributed to the growth of many great civilizations. Origin and History of Beer and Brewing, an earlier book that was published in 1911, writer and historian John P. Arnold was given the colossal task of documenting the first beer history book. This book does an eloquent service providing the beer novice a glimpse at an epic rich beer history. It covers a global beer history, from as far back as ancient Summeria brewing to modern day American brewing. Beer was sacred, a stapled food, had designated beer gods, bartered, medicinal, social and political lubricant, festive and scientific. Beer has a long history and this book is a must read for the beer novice. I purchased this book at www.beerbooks.com ISBN# 0-9662084-1-2
