Beer Culture in Theory and Practice: Understanding Craft Beer Culture in the United States (Communication Perspectives in Popular Culture)

Beer culture has grown exponentially in the United States, from the days of Prohibition to the signing of HR 1337 by then-President Jimmy Carter, which legalized homebrewing for personal and household use, to the potential hop shortage that all brewers are facing today. This expansion of the culture, both socially and commercially, has created a linguistic and cultural turn that is just now starting to be fully recognized. The contributors of Beer Culture in Theory and Practice: Understanding Craft Beer Culture in the United States examine varying facets of beer culture in the United States, from becoming a home brewer, to connecting it to the community, to what a beer brand means, to the social realities and shortcomings that exist within the beer and brewing communities. The book aims to move beer away from the cooler and taproom, and into the dynamic conversation of Popular and American cultural studies that is happening right now, both within and outside of the classroom.

Gabler has written extensively about wine, and lectures around the US about it and about Jefferson (presumably Thomas not Davis). Here is a labor of love for him a bibliography of books about wine and wine-related topics enhanced by deeply informed annotations. The 7,800 entries are presented alphabetically by author or title, but to the 1985 first edition he has added a subject index to complement the short-title index; alas it refers to page numbers rather than entries, so a second search is
