Synopsis

It started flowing during the gold rush, when saloons were much more than just a place to grab a drink. They were post offices, restaurants, hotels, social clubs, union halls, and more. But then, Colorado banned alcohol--four years before Prohibition hit the rest of the country--and a state born in a saloon ran dry for almost twenty years. Beer led the way back, and by the 1970s, brewing was big business again--really big business. Now, homebrewers have gone pro, and Colorado is one of the best places in the world to grab a brew. Join historians Sam Bock and Jason Hanson on a tour of Colorado history as seen through a pint glass. More than just a tale of ale, this is Colorado's story--told over a few beers.

"This isn't just a book about beer. It's a book about us. The beauty of beer is that it intertwines with so many other aspects of life--history, cultural significance, and economic impact. Bock and Hanson explore those threads offering a unique understanding as to why Colorado has become a thriving hub for beer culture! The stories, insights, as well as the connection to present day and the future of brewing is the perfect read for anyone. Bonus--you have permission to enjoy a cold brew while reading!" --Karen Hertz, Chief Brewista and Founder, Holidaily Brewing Company
