The Geography of Beer : Culture and Economics
TLDR
The authors explored the geographies of beer by examining the cultural impacts and economic trends that have intersected, diverged, and shaped the current beer landscape (beerscape), highlighting the similarities and divergences within these beerscapes, from local to global scales of analysis, and from a diversity of perspectives and locales.Abstract:
Beer has been an integral part of many cultures over the millennia. As a hearty social lubricant that also provided nutritional sustenance, beer has played important roles in celebrations, rituals, and social structures. The amalgamation of the four ingredients that create beer—water, malted grains, yeast, and hops (Humulus lupulus)—vary across time and space, and reflect the societies in which they are found. As such, this volume explores the geographies of beer by examining the cultural impacts and economic trends that have intersected, diverged, and shaped the current beer landscape (beerscape). Each chapter underscores the similarities and divergences within these beerscapes, from local to global scales of analysis, and from a diversity of perspectives and locales.read more
