![]() Historian Maureen Ogle tells a wonderful tale of the American dream-and the great American brew. Included here are the stories of ingenious German immigrant entrepreneurs like Frederick Pabst and Adolphus Busch, titans of nineteenth-century industrial brewing who introduced the pleasures of beer gardens to a nation that mostly drank rum and whiskey the temperance movement (one activist declared that "the worst of all our German enemies are Pabst, Schlitz, Blatz, and Miller") Prohibition and the twentieth-century passion for microbrews. Grab a pint and settle in with Ambitious Brew, the fascinating, first-ever history of American beer. A "fascinating and well-documented social history" of American beer, from the immigrants who invented it to the upstart microbrewers who revived it ( Chicago Tribune). ![]()
