Synopsis
&“Delve[s] into a colorful past . . . Stories of early taverns and saloons, religious zeal, prohibition and the roots of the current craft beer boom.&” —Atlanta Journal Constitution Atlanta is a unique southern city known for its vast diversity and fast-paced lifestyle. Rarely is it associated with a rich beer and brewing culture, but not for a lack of one. From Atlanta&’s first brewery in the 1850s to the city&’s Saloon Row and the parched days of local and national Prohibition, the earliest days of Atlanta&’s beer history are laced with scandal and excitement. Follow the journey of beer through Atlanta&’s development, starting with colonial Georgia and the budding wilderness settlement of Terminus and eventually evolving into the ever-growing metropolis known as Atlanta. Authors Ron Smith and Mary Boyle celebrate the resurgence of craft beer in a town that once burned to the ground. As Atlanta rose from the ashes of the Civil War, so also has artisanal beer made a comeback in this enigmatic but resilient city. &“The brewery sections draw attention to some long-neglected businesses . . . But the chapter on Prohibition may be the most fascinating part of the book.&” —American Breweriana Journal &“A fascinating read for any craft beer lover in the Southeast. The book features chapters on frontier taverns of the area, Atlanta&’s first beer boom, stories of early breweries of the city, the brewpub trend and the rise of current breweries located in Georgia&’s capital.&” —Owen Ogletree&’s Brewtopia Brewsletter
