Oktoberfest & Beer

	BOOK: Prost! The Story of German Beer, by Horst Dornbusch, 162 p. (1998) DESCRIPTION: Nowhere has the history of beer been so intimately intertwined with the political, religious, and cultural history of the land and its people as in Germany. The book traces the 3,000-year-old story of German beer from its turbid beginnings among tribal bands in the forests to the crisp, clean gems we drink today. The subtle secrets of German beer are revealed. Readers will find out what makes it special and sets it apart and learn why Germany is arguably the greatest beer culture in the world. They will examine the ingredients that go into authentic German beers and follow the processes that make these beers. "Prost! is perhaps the only work in English that details how the political, economic, and social history of Germany are inextricably linked to its brewing history and culture. . . . Finally, there is an accurate, comprehensive overview of the history of beer and brewing in Germany that obviates the need to pore over volumes of dry history books, each of which may contain as little as one or two relevant bits about brewing." ~ From the Foreword by Eric Warner, Owner of Tabernash Brewing Company.
