[History Hounds] Michigan Beer: A Heady History with Patti F. Smith, Author

Michigan, the Great Lakes State, is also the Great Beer State. Author Patti F. Smith highlights the history of the state's brewers, from the pioneers through Prohibition and post-WWII. Learn how immigrants brought distinctive beer styles from their home countries, as well as about early Detroit brewers, brewing consolidation after the war, and how COVID-19 altered the landscape.
