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.
There are connections to make everywhere in time. But no connection
is greater; no single event had a greater impact on civilization as
the advent of fermented and brewed beverages. What if it never
existed? What if there were no wines, no beers, and no mead to
speak of? How about, no coffee or tea? Take a journey to see the
impact these beverages had on our modern world and learn to make
those concoctions in your own home. Whether you are a fan of the
bubbly or an occasional partaker in a cold one, you should be
mindful of the effect that brew has had on history. Next time you
toast at a wedding or enjoy a frosty beer on a hot day, pay homage
and enjoy.
