Does Akron appreciate this wonderful work?,
By Jaime Jurado (San Antonio, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Brewing Beer in The Rubber City (Spiral-bound)
A delightful read and truly a work of passion. Completely packed with articles and details, photos of long-defunct beer brands, and tales. My only regret is that in producing this spiral-bound book himself, Dr. Musson used photocopying which loses some detail of the wonderful historical graphics. Its layout, done by the author, is a bit quirky...but it's all part of the fun. What a magnificent effort. It can be contrasted with Bob Skilnik's Brewing History of Chicago (Part 1), a polished book professionally published...Dr. Musson's material is as interesting. A great treat for thos eof us who enjoy brewing history.
