A Sip Through Time, A Collection of Old Brewing Recipes contains,
in a single illustrated volume, over 400 documented historic
recipes for ale, beer, mead, metheglin, cider, perry, hypocras,
wines, etc., dating from 1800 B.C. to modern times.
From Li Bai's 'Bring in the Ale' to Ted Kooser's 'Beer Bottle';
from Robert Burns's' John Barleycorn' to Carol Ann Duffy's 'John
Barleycorn' (no, you are not seeing double), the poems collected
here attest to humankind's long and joyous (mostly) relationship
with the world's most popular alcoholic beverage. A surprising
number of authors, and perhaps some surprising authors, have added
their tributes to the brew. Here, to name but a few, we find
Charles Baudelaire, John Betjamen, William Blake, Bertolt Brecht,
Raymond Carver, Amy Clampitt, Emily Dickinson, Benjamin Franklin,
Robert Graves, Langston Hughes, Eric Idle, E. Nesbit, Flann
O'Brien, Frank O'Hara, Sylvia Plath, Arthur RImbaud, Rumi and Hank
WIlliams, all rather less than sober. Unsurprisingly, 'Anon.' is
widely represented, in particularly exuberant spirits. There are
recipes, and hangovers (inevitably); there's singing ... a hymn to
NInkasi, ancient Sumerian goddess of beer, Prohibition protest
songs and old English drinking catches; there is philosophy (of a
sort), and consolation. Whether pulling up at the celestial bar in
Keats's 'Mermaid Tavern' or at the grittier, jazzier one in Carl
Sandburg's 'Honky Tonk in Cleveland, Ohio', lovers of beer and
poetry are sure to find something to celebrate in these pages.

The contents of your pint glass have a much richer history than you
could have imagined. Through the story of the hop, Hoptopia
connects twenty-first century beer drinkers to lands and histories
that have been forgotten in an era of industrial food production.
The craft beer revolution of the late twentieth century is a
remarkable global history that converged in the agricultural
landscapes of Oregon's Willamette Valley. The common hop, a plant
native to Eurasia, arrived to the Pacific Northwest only in the
nineteenth century, but has thrived within the region's
environmental conditions so much that by the first half of the
twentieth century, the Willamette Valley claimed the title "Hop
Center of the World." Hoptopia integrates an interdisciplinary
history of environment, culture, economy, labor, and science
through the story of the most indispensible ingredient in beer.

How did the brewing of beer become a scientific process? Sumner
explores this question by charting the theory and practice of the
trade in Britain and Ireland during the eighteenth and nineteenth
centuries. From an oral culture derived from home-based skills,
brewing industrialized rapidly and developed an extensive trade
literature, based increasingly on the authority of chemical
experiment. The role of taxation is also examined, and the
emergence of brewing as a profession is set within its social and
technical context.
Now in a landmark 45th edition, the beer-lovers' bible is fully

Beer and Society: How We Make Beer and Beer Makes Us takes readers
on a lively journey through the social, cultural, and economic
dimensions of the modern beer world. This book illustrates that
beer is far more than a beverage. As a finely-crafted cultural
product, beer can be a part of our identity, a source of pleasure
and camaraderie, an object of connoisseurship, and a livelihood for
those who are behind the beer itself. Drawing on leading
sociological and psychological perspectives, the authors argue that
our enduring relationship with beer reflects the very roots of our
society, including its collective values and norms, power
structures, and persistent inequities based on race, gender,
sexuality, and social class. Beer and Society explores beer as an
embodiment of who we are and a force to energize social change.
