Over the Barrel : The Brewing History and Beer Culture of Cincinnati, Volume One, 1800-Prohibition

Over the Barrel: The Brewing History and Beer Culture of Cincinnati is the most complete look at the role of beer consumption and manufacture in one of America's foremost malt beverage centers. Volume One (1800-1919) takes the reader on a virtual tour of Cincinnati's legendary saloon trade and extensive brewery operations, tracing the evolution of a beer culture and brewing empire from humble roots along the Ohio River through years of unparalleled prosperity and dominance, to an untimely demise with the onset of national prohibition legislation. Includes over 300 illustrations from private collections, library holdings, and the archives of the Hudepohl-Schoenling Brewing Company, Cincinnati's last remaining regional beer producer.
