An exquisite 1911 1st edition of one of the foundational texts of Beer Brewing, and more than a century after its publication, the 'Origin and History of Beer and Brewing' remains a cornerstone work in brewing literature.
Illustrated green cloth. Square tight binding. Clean interior, save for the signature of Walter Arnold to the top of the front pastedown, possibly a relative of the author. 411pp. Black and white in-text illustrations. Mild wear, mostly along edges.
" Arnold set out to fill a void that existed in brewing literature. It was to be a tribute to the founders of the world-famous Chicago brewing school, the Wahl-Henius Institute of Fermentology, on the occasion of its 25th anniversary. Up to that point, there had no comprehensive study of the brewing of beer throughout history. Arnold, a writer and historian, was particularly well-suited to tackle the colossal job of assembling a global history of brewing. He was a former student of the Wahl-Henius Institute and long-time editor of the Siebel Technical Review." - beerhistory.
