The Drink that made Wisconsin Famous by Doug Hoverson

From the global breweries that developed in Milwaukee in the 1870s to the “wildcat” breweries of Prohibition and the upstart craft brewers of today, Doug Hoverson tells the stories of Wisconsin’s rich brewing history in his book, “The Drink that made Wisconsin famous – beer and brewing in the Badger state”. Going beyond the giants like Miller, Schlitz, and Pabst, Hoverson delves into the stories of the hundreds of small breweries started by immigrants and entrepreneurs that delivered Wisconsin’s beer from grain to glass. Hoverson discusses his research and what was the most surprising…. sabotage!
