This History Of Brewing In Minnesota
The good folks over at MNBeer.com report the release of Doug Hoverson’s new book, Land of Amber Waters: The History of Brewing In Minnesota.
Starting with its first brewery in 1849, Doug Hoverson tells the story of the state’s beer industry from the small-town breweries that gave way to larger companies with regional and national prominence (including Hamm’s, Grain Belt, and Schell’s) to the vibrant beer culture of today, led by a new wave of breweries such as Summit, Lake Superior Brewing Co., and Surly, as well as brewpubs like Town Hall Brewery, Fitger’s, and Granite City Brewpub, sustained by microbreweries, home brewers, and beer aficionados.
Be sure to check out MNBeer.com’s post about the book.
