The History of Beer and Brewing in Chicago: Volume II by Bob Skilnik

Gone are the days that The History of Beer and Brewing in Chicago, 1833-1978 detailed, when one could argue that every Chicago neighborhood or ethnic group seemed to have its own brewery. As the chapters of The History of Beer and Brewing in Chicago, Volume II unfold, the more obvious it becomes that contemporary Chicago is now a global market. As a result, any attempt to segregate the effects of beer and brewing in Chicago from the rest of the U.S. beer market becomes more difficult. As goes beer in Chicago, so goes the nation.
