The hard-working men who made Idaho a part of the American nation
worked up a mighty thirst in the process. European-born-mostly
Germanic-men saw a need and a business potential and brewed beer
for them. Beer to quench their thirst, to feed the inner man, to
bind the society, and to save that society from whiskey-induced
rages and excesses. European legend and lore said medieval King
Gambrinus invented beer. The legend conveniently forgets the first
few thousand years of brewing history in the Old World, but it
offers a definite starting point for the brewers to begin their own
historical epoch. A European brewer considered himself, if not a
descendant from the legendary king, at least a disciple. This
series of collective biographies tells the lives of the Disciples
of Gambrinus as they lived, worked, and died in the Gem State. As
with any large group, there were the saints and the sinners, the
sane and the insane, the wise and the foolish, the successful and
the failures. Some committed murder; some had murder committed on
them. Some became enormously wealthy, while some filed for
bankruptcy. They were a microcosm of the human condition, but their
link to brewing endowed them with a certain essence that was theirs
alone.
