1. Happening This Week:
2. Episode 174: WHAT IS BEER?
The Inspiring History and Legacy of American Lager Beer is envisioned to be a nine-volume series of books covering the history of the American lager brewing industry from the 1840s to the 1940s and the evolution of adjunct lager beer as America's "national beverage." The "surprising" aspect of this history is that it ever happened at all, given the half-century-long assault on the industry between the 1870s and 1910s to impose an "American Reinheitsgebot." Unified in this objective were a plethora of the nation's political, cultural, and agricultural institutions-all seeking to ban to use of rice and corn-based products in the brewing of American ales and lagers. Equally united in opposition to this effort were the brewers and brewing scientists of America. In battles that were passionate, highly public, and intense in nature, these brewing industry advocates successfully defended the right of American brewers to brew with the ingredients of their choice. It is a powerful legacy not only for America's first revolution in beer (the adjunct lager brewing industry) but also for the nation's second revolution in beer (the American craft brewing industry). Special Guest: Greg Casey. Listen here.
