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.
