Knoxville beer : a short history of the city's first breweries

Jack Neely (Author), Paul James (Editor), Knoxville History Project (Publisher)
"You don't have to drink beer to notice that the local brewery is a hallmark of the 21st-century American city. In the early 1990s, though, no one alive remembered when Knoxville was justly proud of its "native beer." The Mid-South city's reputation for beers and ales that bloomed after the Civil War as a cultural phenomenon led by German and Irish immigrants who produced a substantial industry impossible to ignore in the saloons and breweries of the Gilded Age-only to suffer an unnatural death in the early 2oth century. This is its story."--Back cover
