Material Culture of Breweries, Paperback / softback Book

Material Culture of Breweries Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

From antique bottles to closely guarded recipes and treasured historic architecture, breweries have a special place in American history.

This fascinating book brings the material culture of breweries in the United States to life, from many regions of the country and from early 16th century production to today’s industrial operations.

Herman Ronnenberg traces the evolution of techniques, equipment, raw materials, and architecture over five centuries, discusses informal production outside of breweries, and offers detailed information on makers marks, patents, labels, and beer containers that allows readers to identify items in their own collections.

Heavily illustrated with photographs and line drawings, this book will be popular with collectors and general readers, and a key reference in historical archaeology, local history, material culture, and related fields.
