300 Years of Beer: An Illustrated History of Brewing in Manitoba

300 Years of Beer: An Illustrated History of Brewing in Manitoba by Bill Wright & Dave Craig. For over 300 years, prairie-dwellers have been brewing, selling and sipping their beers. This book is a look back at Manitoba’s long and colourful brewing past. With over 400 illustrations of rare beer labels, retro bottles, and ads dating back as far as the 1870s, 300 Years of Beer chronicles the bygone days, when beer barons like Patrick Shea and E.L. Drewry ruled over an industry, to the modern-day microbrewer, and explores the events that shaped the drinking habits of Manitobans. GPP. ISBN: 978-1926531717, $35.00, 244 pp., pb. Non-fiction.
