Book Description
"Tells the story of one of the area's largest breweries. Located in the West End, on the other side of the Miami-Erie Canal bordering the Over-the-Rhine district, the Hauck Brewery was described as a castle and its president as a 'self-made man' and a beer baron. In addition to producing high quality brews, Hauck was president of the German National Bank, and , for a time, an owner of the Cincinnati Reds. Well known for philanthropy, Hauck made a lasting contribution to the area by saving the Cincinnati Zoo from financial ruin."--P. [4] of cover.

Book Description
The hard-working men who made Idaho a part of the American nation worked up a mighty thirst in the process. European-born-mostly Germanic-men saw a need and a business potential and brewed beer for them. Beer to quench their thirst, to feed the inner man, to bind the society, and to save that society from whiskey-induced rages and excesses. European legend and lore said medieval King Gambrinus invented beer. The legend conveniently forgets the first few thousand years of brewing history in the Old World, but it offers a definite starting point for the brewers to begin their own historical epoch. A European brewer considered himself, if not a descendant from the legendary king, at least a disciple. This series of collective biographies tells the lives of the Disciples of Gambrinus as they lived, worked, and died in the Gem State. As with any large group, there were the saints and the sinners, the sane and the insane, the wise and the foolish, the successful and the failures. Some committed murder; some had murder committed on them. Some became enormously wealthy, while some filed for bankruptcy. They were a microcosm of the human condition, but their link to brewing endowed them with a certain essence that was theirs alone.

Book Description
This work is an accurate, wide-ranging, and entertaining account of the illegal liquor traffic during the Prohibition Era (1920 to 1933). Based on FBI files, legal documents, old newspapers and other sources, it offers a coast-to-coast survey of Volstead crime--outrageous stories of America's most notorious liquor lords, including Al Capone and Dutch Schultz. Readers will find the lesser known Volstead outlaws to be as fascinating as their more famous counterparts. The riveting tales of Max Hassel, Waxy Gordon, Roy Olmstead, the Purple Gang, the Havre Bunch, and the Capitol Hill Bootlegger will be new to most readers. Likewise, the exploits of women bootleggers and flying bootleggers are unknown to most Americans. Books about Prohibition usually note that Canadian liquor exporters abetted the U.S. bootleggers, but they fail to go into detail. Bootleggers and Beer Barons examines the major cross-border routes for smuggling liquor from Canada into the U.S.: Quebec to Vermont and New York, Ontario to Michigan, Saskatchewan to Montana, and British Columbia to Washington.

Book Description
The history of beer making in America is a romantic story, and the Dick Brothers Brewery had more than its share of intrigue. The Brewery was founded by three brothers, Matthew, John, and Jacob Dick who grew the Quincy, Illinois company into one of the largest breweries in the country. Beer Baron: August Redmond Dick and the Dick Brothers Brewery focuses on August R. Dick, heir to the Dick Brother's Empire. The book takes us on a journey through a time when the Dick family, greatly influenced by their strong German heritage, considered themselves royalty who expected and experienced only the finest that life had to offer - the best houses, cars, art, and women. Events outside of the control of the brewery, such as Prohibition and WWII, began to take its toll on the Brewery would ultimately file bankruptcy, eventually being auctioned off in 1951, marking the end of the Dick Brothers dynasty. What is perhaps most fascinating about the book, however, is the uncanny and surprising information that the author would discover about his intriguing, yes questionable, relationship to August Redmond Dick.
