Chemist Robert Wahl, along with son Arnold Spencer Wahl, resumed the in-depth study of brewing science for which the Institute had become famous before Prohibition. In 1937, the Wahls published this book, the first of what was intended to be a 4-volume set designed to educate a new generation of American brewmasters. The Wahls believed that history was critical to a full understanding of beer. So, the topics of modern brewing are presented within a strong historical context, aided by more than 60 illustrations. Intermingled with those discussions are many of the elder Wahl's personal recollections of the pre-Prohibition heyday of brewing -- giving a rare first-person account of the history of American beer styles, ingredients, brewing methods, and more. <http://www.beerbooks.com/images/red_arrow.gif> Read more and see the Table of Contents at BeerBooks.com <http://www.beerbooks.com/wahl/> . <http://www.beerbooks.com/email/jul2014/dots.jpg> <http://www.beerbooks.com/email/jul2014/more.jpg> <http://www.beerbooks.com/catalog/1443/> Theory and Practice of the Preparation of Malt and the Fabrication of Beer <http://www.beerbooks.com/catalog/1443/> <http://www.beerbooks.com/catalog/1443/> Product <http://www.beerbooks.com/catalog/1443/> For many American brewmasters of the late 1800s, this 840-page monster volume was their absolute bible. First written in German by Julius E. Thausing, professor of the brewing school at Modling near Vienna, the book was translated into English in 1882 and expanded to include material tailored to the American brewing industry. A primary figure behind the English edition was New York brewing chemist Anton Schwarz, whose scientific research had earned him virtual guru status among beermakers. <http://www.beerbooks.com/images/red_arrow.gif> Read more... <http://www.beerbooks.com/catalog/1443/> <http://www.beerbooks.com/catalog/1299/> Louis Pasteur's Studies on Fermentation: The Diseases of Beer... <http://www.beerbooks.com/catalog/1299/> <http://www.beerbooks.com/catalog/1299/> Product <http://www.beerbooks.com/catalog/1299/> In 1876, Louis Pasteur published his ground-breaking volume, Etudes sur la Biere, soon translated into English as Studies On Fermentation. The book changed the course of brewing during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, representing a huge leap forward in the scientific understanding of the processes involved in beermaking. Brewers around the globe put Pasteur's findings to work in their breweries, and thus plunged the industry headlong into the modern era. <http://www.beerbooks.com/images/red_arrow.gif> Read more... <http://www.beerbooks.com/catalog/1299/> <http://www.beerbooks.com/catalog/1175/> Brewed In America: The History of Beer and Ale in the United States <http://www.beerbooks.com/catalog/1175/> <http://www.beerbooks.com/catalog/1175/> Product <http://www.beerbooks.com/catalog/1175/> In our opinion, Brewed In America is just about the best, most comprehensive history of brewing in America out there. Published in 1962, nothing else has yet topped it. The book goes into great detail on just about every facet of beer and brewing history in the U.S. from colonial times up to the time of publication (1962). Terrific insight into the evolution of the brewing industry, and the most complete history of beer in America in any single work. <http://www.beerbooks.com/images/red_arrow.gif> Read more... <http://www.beerbooks.com/catalog/1175/> <http://www.beerbooks.com/catalog/1298/> Origin And History of Beer And Brewing <http://www.beerbooks.com/catalog/1298/> <http://www.beerbooks.com/catalog/1298/> Product <http://www.beerbooks.com/catalog/1298/> In 1911, John P. Arnold set out to fill a void that existed in brewing literature. The result was Origin and History of Beer and Brewing -- a global study of beer throughout history that has remained a cornerstone work for nearly a century. In recognition of Arnold's contribution to the study of brewing history, BeerBooks.com has reprinted this groundbreaking work from an original 1911 edition. Come read an excerpt and see the book's extensive Table of Contents. <http://www.beerbooks.com/images/red_arrow.gif> Read more... <http://www.beerbooks.com/catalog/1298/> <http://www.beerbooks.com/catalog/1123/> The Pabst Brewing Company: History of an American Business <http://www.beerbooks.com/catalog/1123/> <http://www.beerbooks.com/catalog/1123/> Product <http://www.beerbooks.com/catalog/1123/> In 1948, Thomas Childs Cochran, Professor of History at New York University, completed what is perhaps the most in-depth historical study of an American brewery ever undertaken. The result was The Pabst Brewing Company: The History of an American Business. During the book's preparation, the author was granted full access to the Pabst corporate archives, nearly all of which has since been lost or destroyed. Without Cochran's work, much of the Pabst story might have remained forever untold. <http://www.beerbooks.com/images/red_arrow.gif> Read more... <http://www.beerbooks.com/catalog/1123/> <http://www.beerbooks.com/catalog/1300/> Beer, Its History and Its Economic Value as a National Beverage <http://www.beerbooks.com/catalog/1300/> <http://www.beerbooks.com/catalog/1300/> Product <http://www.beerbooks.com/catalog/1300/> In 1880, American writer Frederick W. Salem published a book detailing the state of the U.S. brewing industry, and profesing its vital importance to the nation's economy. Salem's extensive statistical data alone makes this book a great resource -- particularly the complete list of every licensed brewery in the U.S. in 1878 and 1879, arranged by state/city, along with each brewery's individual beer production for both years. But, there is so much more!
