Huckelbridge shows how beer has evolved along with the country—from a local and regional product (once upon a time every American city has its own brewery and iconic beer brand) to the rise of global mega-brands like Budweiser and Miller that are synonymous with U.S. capitalism.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe learn of George Washington's failed attempt to brew beer at Mount Vernon with molasses instead of barley, of the 19th century \"Beer Barons\" like Captain Frederick Pabst, Adolphus Busch, and Joseph Schlitz who revolutionized commercial brewing and built lucrative empires—and the American immigrant experience—and of the advances in brewing and bottling technology that allowed beer to flow in the saloons of the Wild West. Throughout, Huckelbridge draws connections between seemingly remote fragments of the American past, and shares his reports from the frontlines of today's craft-brewing revolution.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Book Depot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52207043543333,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/5262\/3397\/files\/91hT1XXWiDL._SL1500.jpg?v=1775851910","url":"https:\/\/7a3ac2-2.myshopify.com\/products\/the-united-states-of-beer-the-true-tale-of-how-beer-conquered-america-from-b-c-to-budweiser-and-beyond","provider":"Heritage Gift Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
