Material Culture of Breweries 

Herman Wiley Ronnenberg 

July 2011, 152  pages

            

Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is
beer...If you look around at the conferences and during the evenings is the
field, I'm sure most  archaeologists would agree!

 

From antique bottles to closely guarded recipes and treasured historic
architecture, breweries have a special place in American history. This
fascinating book brings the material culture of breweries in the United
States to life, from many regions of the country and from early 16th century
production to today's industrial operations. Herman Ronnenberg traces the
evolution of techniques, equipment, raw materials, and architecture over
five centuries, discusses informal production outside of breweries, and
offers detailed information on makers marks, patents, labels, and beer
containers that allows readers to identify items in their own collections.
Heavily illustrated with photographs and line drawings, this book will be
popular with collectors and general readers, and a key reference in
historical archaeology, local history, material culture, and related fields.
