Brewing Local: American-Grown Beer

Explore Local Flavor Using Cultivated and Foraged Ingredients Brewers are at the forefront of the locavore movement using locally grown, traditional ingredients, and cultivated and foraged flora to produce beers that capture the essence of place or terroir. Brewing Local examines the history of distinctly American beers, visits farm breweries, and goes foraging for plants and yeast. Author Stan Hieronymus introduces brewers and drinkers to how herbs, flowers, plants, trees, and shrubs flavor unique beers.
