Book excerpt: Presentations at a September 1994 conference in Milan have been augmented with further contributions to expand the geographical range of the collection of 15 essays. Concentrating on a little studied industry, they find it to be unusually complex, strong on tradition, closely associated with agriculture, heavily regulated, and of considerable economic and technological impact in addition to its social influence. A tasting of topics finds Dutch brewing in the 19th century, the changing taste for beer in Victorian Britain, the mass production of draught and bottled beer in Germany 1880-1914, Irish brewing and the rise of Guinness 1790-1914, and Scottish brewers and beers in imperial and international markets, 1850-1939.
