Book excerpt: Indiana became a state in 1816 and in that year our first two commercial breweries opened. Since then over 350 licensed breweries have offered cool, refreshing beer to Hoosiers, made by Hoosiers. 200 years of history. Hoosier Beer chronicles, city by city, the rise from small family backyard breweries to large factory breweries to their demise as massive mega-conglomerates. It also covers the modern era of brewpubs and the return of the small family-owned breweries that offer a wide variety of beers directly to customers fresh at the brewery. In this book, you'll discover the complete history of the breweries of Indiana. About 370 commercial breweries have operated between 1816 and the present day. We'll explore stories about all of them, including the following: - A farm brewery was part of the Underground Railroad during the Civil War and a speakeasy and bordello during Prohibition (Hoham/Klinghammer in Plymouth). - A large brewery's life was ended due to a labor - One brewery was part of a utopian colony (New Harmony), and one was part of an Archabbey (Saint Meinrad). - One brewery recovered from $3,000 debt in 1881 (Joseph Miller in Covington). Another brewery's owner, when faced with a $5,000 debt in 1889, shot himself (Main Street Brewery in New Albany). - And so much more! Get your copy today!
