Indiana: One Pint at a Time: A Traveler's Guide to Indiana's Breweries [Paperback]

Douglas Wissing (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 9, 2010

Indiana: One Pint at a Time explores the history and living artisanal culture of the state s long, vibrant brewing tradition. Using regional, ethnic, and commercial lens, the book, written by Douglas A. Wissing, depicts the early nineteenth-century origins of Indiana s commercial breweries, through the early twentieth-century heyday when forty-one Hoosier breweries hustled beer, to the mid-twentieth-century consolidation and decline. The book focuses on Indiana brewing s remarkable post-1989 renaissance. Today more than thirty breweries produce award-winning craft microbrews across the state. Indiana: One Pint at a Time provides a travel guide to these craft breweries, interweaving their stories with Indiana architecture, ethnicity, and regional specificity, connecting the dynamics of today with the luster of the past.

We got this book for my father-in-law because he loves the craft beer scene. A very interesting book with the history of breweries in Indiana and all the ones around. We have already talked about taking a trip to tour them. There are many I didn't even know existed!
