Description

Book Synopsis
The contents of your pint glass have a much richer history than you could have imagined. Through the story of the hop, this book connects twenty-first century beer drinkers to lands and histories that have been forgotten in an era of industrial food production.

Trade Review
"Peter Kopp digs into the history and agriculture of growing hops for beer. He begins with the ancient development of the vine, explores how it came to be used to preserve beer and how it has grown into the craft beer flavor factor to the nth degree... Fascinating." OnMilwaukee.com
