This engrossing and passionate narrative of Maryland’s fermented
history begins with the earliest brewers in the colony- women, and
wends its way into the modern world, revealing long held secrets
and little known details of the brewing families and their
birthrights. The impact of war, competition, the industrial
revolution, the devastation of Prohibition, and changing political
philosophies are detailed. Intimate never before told histories are
woven throughout this unique, spellbinding account, unearthing
tales of murder, scandal, intrigue, and perseverance through
debilitating loss and heartache. The sacrifices and dedication of
the brewers to their craft are examined along with the roles they
played in building their communities, and giving back to those that
embraced them. Vital attention is paid to the challenges modern
craft beer pioneers face, from monopolistic macro breweries and
trademark quandaries, to hop shortages, all while attempting to
establish their own legacy for future generations. This absolutely
unique work changes our understanding of the industry in the state
and the region. It is more than a notation in the historical
record, this is a riveting account of stories that must be told
about a trade that has grabbed everyone’s attention, whether beer
aficionado or mere lover of history.
