Indiana: One Pint at a Time explores the history and living artisanal culture of the state s long, vibrant brewing tradition. Using regional, ethnic, and commercial lens, the book, written by Douglas A. Wissing, depicts the early nineteenth-century origins of Indiana s commercial breweries, through the early twentieth-century heyday when forty-one Hoosier breweries hustled beer, to the mid-twentieth-century consolidation and decline. The book focuses on Indiana brewing s remarkable post-1989 renaissance. Today more than thirty breweries produce award-winning craft microbrews across the state. Indiana: One Pint at a Time provides a travel guide to these craft breweries, interweaving their stories with Indiana architecture, ethnicity, and regional specificity, connecting the dynamics of today with the luster of the past.
