Ancient brewing traditions and techniques have been passed
generation to generation on farms throughout remote areas of
northern Europe. With these traditions facing near extinction,
author Lars Marius Garshol set out to explore and document the lost
art of brewing using traditional local methods. Equal parts
history, cultural anthropology, social science, and travelogue,
this book describes brewing and fermentation techniques that are
vastly different from modern craft brewing and preserves them for
posterity and exploration. Learn about uncovering an unusual strain
of yeast, called kveik, which can ferment a batch to completion in
just 36 hours. Discover how to make keptinis by baking the mash in
the oven. Explore using juniper boughs for various stages of the
brewing process. Test your own hand by brewing recipes gleaned from
years of travel and research in the farmlands of northern Europe.
Meet the brewers and delve into the ingredients that have kept
these traditional methods alive. Discover the regional and
stylistic differences between farmhouse brewers today and
throughout history.

Originally published during the early part of the twentieth
century, the Cambridge Manuals of Science and Literature were
designed to provide concise introductions to a broad range of
topics. They were written by experts for the general reader and
combined a comprehensive approach to knowledge with an emphasis on
accessibility. Brewing by A. Chaston Chapman was first published in
1912. The volume presents an account of the methods and scientific
principles underlying the process of brewing.
An inside look at how craft beer makers and IPA devotees come
together to brew, taste, and enjoy fine ale while also building a
sense of community in Las Vegas Equally reviled and revered as Sin
City, Las Vegas is both exceptional and emblematic of contemporary
American cultural practices and tastes. Michael Ian Borer takes us
inside the burgeoning Las Vegas craft beer scene to witness how its
adherents use beer to create and foster not just a local culture
but a locals' culture. Through compelling, detailed first-hand
accounts and interviews, Vegas Brews provides an unprecedented look
into the ways that brewers, distributors, bartenders, and drinkers
fight against the perceived and preconceived norm about what
"happens in Vegas" and lay claim to a part of their city that is
too often overshadowed by the bright lights of tourist sites. Borer
shows how our interactions with the things we care about-and the
ways that we care about how they're made, treated, and consumed-can
lead to new senses of belonging and connections with and to others
and the places where we live. In a world where people and things
move around at an extraordinary pace, the folks Borer spent time
talking (and drinking) with remind us to slow down and learn how to
taste the "good life," or at least a semblance of it, even in a
city where style is often valued over substance.
