Description

Commercial beer brewing in Seattle can also be traced back to 1864, when in the small, unincorporated town of under 1,000 people the first brewery opened and began manufacturing porter and cream ales. Over the next 50 years, innovation and entrepreneurship would take Seattle brewed beer to strange heights. By the eve of Prohibition, powered by its popular Rainier Beer, the Seattle Brewing and Malting Company was once the largest industrial institution in the state of Washington and the sixth-largest brewery on the planet. Prohibition would wipe out the industry in 1916, but by 1933, new faces such as Emil Sick would emerge and bring Seattle back to the leading edge of the brewing world. Images of The united states: Brewing in Seattle is the first book completely dedicated to the rich history of beer in Seattle and showcases just about each and every single brewery of this great city, from the mid-1800s to the latest craft-brewery boom. It offers a rare glimpse of photographs, advertisements, and comments from one of the innovators who assisted in shaping Seattle into the beer lovers paradise it is today.
