7: America's Complicated History with Alcohol
Maureen Ogle, famed author of Ambitious Brew, one of the best selling and undeniably the best written comprehensive histories of the beer industry in the U.S. takes us back to the beginning. Together, we journey through the nascent Prohibition movement of the 1850s, the impacts of national Prohibition in the 1920s, and how our simultaneously puritanical and glutenous relationship with alcohol as a nation impacts what and how we drink. Maureen, btw, is also the best-selling author of In Meat We Trust: An Unexpected History of Carnivore America and Key West: History of An Island of Dreams.
