In 1911  brewing scholar John P. Arnold set out to fill a void that existed in brewing literature. It was to be a tribute to the founders of the world-famous Chicago brewing school  the Wahl-Henius Institute of Fermentology  on the occasion of its 25th anniversary. Up to that point  there had no comprehensive study of the brewing of beer throughout history. Arnold  a writer and historian  was particularly well-suited to tackle the collossal job of assembling a global history of brewing. He was a former student of the Wahl-Henius Institute and long-time editor of the Siebel Technical Review. In recognition of Arnolds contribution to the study of brewing history  BeerBooks.com has reprinted Origin and Historys pages exactly as they appeared in the first edition  complete with nearly 100 illustrations. An original 1911 copy was digitally scanned  professionally enhanced and reproduced in a hard cover format. In his foreword  Arnold gave some sense of the daunting challenge that this book represented: \"The historian must strive to penetrate into the daily doings and occupations of the people...He must settle down with them  help them brew the honey-mead  watch them till their fields and sow their millet  barley  oats  or spelt  bake their bread and from it learn to make their beer...he must join them at their gatherings  clannish meetings and convivial feasts  when they discuss their common affairs over a stoup of ale or a tankard of foaming beer...He must be able to picture for himself the days of the tavern and the tap-room  the Golden Age of drinking and feasting...Then  and not until then  will we learn and understand the true history of beer and brewing from the early beginning to the present day.\" That Arnold achieved this lofty goal is shown by the simple fact that  nearly a century later  the Origin and History of Beer and Brewing remains a cornerstone work in brewing literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45666052177973,"sku":"ByrdShop_0966208412","price":114.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780966208412.jpg?v=1782417064","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/origin-and-history-of-beer-and-brewing-from-prehistoric-times-to-the-beginning-of-brewing-science-and-technology-9780966208412","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
