Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1979, two University of Colorado professors decided to open Boulder Brewing Company--the forty-third brewery in the nation and the first in the state since Prohibition. Over the next four decades, young entrepreneurs from across the country flocked to the picturesque region to follow their bliss and brew beer. The county's brewing heritage is brimming with stories of how a band of ragtag ruffians helped launch a nationwide revolution. The likes of Oskar Blues, Avery Brewing Company and Left Hand Brewing Company laid the fertile ground for torchbearers such as Upslope, Bootstrap Brewing and many others. Packed with firsthand accounts from adventurous brewers, Michael J. Casey recounts the tale of those who turned Boulder County into ground zero for craft beer in the Centennial State.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brewed in 1859 near what is now the heart of downtown, Denver's first beer quenched the thirst of fortune hunters following the gold rush. It lubricated the city's transformation from Wild West town to the Queen City of the Plains until Prohibition brought a sudden end to the brewing culture. By 1979, only the famed Coors brewery remained. But then something frothy happened. Brian Dunn, John Hickenlooper and many others began satiating locals with liquid gold. The craft beer movement blossomed. Now well over seventy breweries strong, it is filled with the same pioneering spirit and irrepressible optimism that the miners embodied. Journalist and author Jonathan Shikes captures the Mile High City's sudsy stories from then until now.

Book excerpt: Although alcohol arrived with the first settlers in Fort Collins, Prohibition lingered until 1969. But the city was one of the first to latch onto the burgeoning craft beer movement. In 1989, Old Colorado Brewing Company paved the way as the city's first microbrewery. And with the inception of breweries like Odell and New Belgium, local beer soon saw a strong resurgence followed by popularity nationwide. By 2010, a new generation of breweries, like Funkwerks and Equinox Brewing, emerged. Brea D. Hoffman divulges the history of Fort Collins's evolving beer scene.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winnebago County has long been a bellwether of Wisconsin beer making. In the mid-1800s, German immigrants launched small breweries in Butte des Morts, Menasha, Neenah, Oshkosh and Winneconne. By the 1950s, breweries such as Walter Brothers, Peoples and the Oshkosh Brewing Company had a combined output of more than 100,000 barrels of beer annually, and iconic brands like Gem Pilsener and Chief Oshkosh were known across the state. This rich tradition continues today with the rise of modern craft breweries in Omro, Oshkosh and Neenah. Local author and founder of the Oshkosh Beer website Lee Reiherzer reveals stories behind the breweries, past and present, that fostered an enduring beer culture.

Book excerpt: "Now centered on Greensboro, Winston-Salem and High Point, the Triad was home to one of North Carolina's earliest brewery operations in the Moravia community of Bethabara. Easy access by rail and then highways attracted national breweries, and starting in the 1960s, the region began producing beer for companies like Miller and Schlitz. The passage of the "Pop the Cap" legislation led to an explosion of craft beer and brewpubs, and in 2019, three of the top five producing craft breweries in North Carolina were anchored in the area. Local beer historians Richard Cox, David Gwynn and Erin Lawrimore narrate the history of the Triad brewing industry, from early Moravian communities to the operators of nineteenth-century saloons and from Big Beer factories to modern craft breweries." --

This book was released on 2016-05-14 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: * A comprehensive guide to the majority of Colorado's defunct breweries. As a young man living in Denver, back when 18-year-olds could drink 3.2% beer, I enjoyed products from several regional breweries including Coors, and the Tivoli and also Walter, which produced quite a variety of brews both under its own and contract labels. Skipping forward to the present, a rise in the popularity of microbreweries nationwide brought me into the hobby of home brewing and coincidentally directed my attention back to local breweries once again. I knew when I began this project that the subject of defunct Colorado breweries had never been covered comprehensively in any published work. Two good books document the history of Coors. Lesser-stature works have chronicled the Del Norte, Schneider, Tivoli and Walter breweries. The balance of Colorado breweries have received little more than brief mention as part of other stories. Unfortunately, I also can only bring mention to several of the more obscure breweries as more-detailed information concerning them was too elusive. Since this subject has not been approached in depth, I have necessarily documented sources heavily. More knowledgeable readers may prefer to skip the Introduction as it is a presentation of background facts that may be helpful and interesting in interpreting the unfolding of events. For most of my life I have been interested in Colorado history and genealogy. I find historical research a fascinating challenge and very much enjoy reading original documents and sources that were produced by writers of the day. My fascination with research has steered my writing style toward being less an author and more a guide through the information I encountered in my research. Instead of re-relating all the bits of a story as though previously known to me, I prefer to let eyewitnesses tell the tale, on my part only enhancing or explaining when necessary. In this manner, the reader can inspect original historical information and possibly arrive at a different insight or conclusion than I might present. * 1st edition, 1st printing, May 2016; paperback, perfect bound, 6x9 inches, 334 pgs, 76 Photographs, 28 Maps, 6 Tables, 52 Illustrations, Over 825 source references, Bibliography, Index.

Book excerpt: A “fascinating and well-documented social history” of American beer, from the immigrants who invented it to the upstart microbrewers who revived it (Chicago Tribune). Grab a pint and settle in with AmbitiousBrew, the fascinating, first-ever history of American beer. Included here are the stories of ingenious German immigrant entrepreneurs like Frederick Pabst and Adolphus Busch, titans of nineteenth-century industrial brewing who introduced the pleasures of beer gardens to a nation that mostly drank rum and whiskey; the temperance movement (one activist declared that “the worst of all our German enemies are Pabst, Schlitz, Blatz, and Miller”); Prohibition; and the twentieth-century passion for microbrews. Historian Maureen Ogle tells a wonderful tale of the American dream—and the great American brew. “As much a painstakingly researched microcosm of American entrepreneurialism as it is a love letter to the country’s favorite buzz-producing beverage . . . ‘Ambitious Brew’ goes down as brisk and refreshingly as, well, you know.” —New York Post
