Book Description
Is it true that Germans...Are afraid of drinking tap water? Cycle in the nude at the weekend? And do have a sense of humour, after all? Tim Howe should know. He'd always dreamed about all things German. But never of becoming one. Until Brexit. Suddenly the race is on to bond with the burghers of Bavaria. Laugh as Tim bears the brunt of a beer-fuelled human pyramid, sees more than he should in the sauna, and attempts to smash the world cymbal-bashing record at his local Oktoberfest. As the race unfolds, one thing's clear -anyone desperate enough to become Bavarian is going to need a thick skin. And a strong bladder....

Book Description
How did beer become one of the central commodities associated with the German nation? How did a little-known provincial production standard DS the Reinheitsgebot, or Beer Purity Law DS become a pillar of national consumer sentiments? How did the jovial, beer-drinking German become a fixture in the global imagination? While the connection between beer and Germany seems self-evident, A Nation Fermented reveals how it was produced through a strange brew of regional commercial and political pressures. Spanning from the late nineteenth century to the last decades of the twentieth, A Nation Fermented argues that the economic, regulatory, and cultural weight of Bavaria shaped the German nation in profound ways. Drawing on sources from over a dozen archives and repositories, Terrell weaves together subjects ranging from tax law to advertising, public health to European integration, and agriculture to global stereotypes. Offering a history of the Germany that Bavaria made over the twentieth century, A Nation Fermented both eschews sharp temporal divisions and forgoes conventional narratives centered on Prussia, Berlin, or the Rhineland. In so doing, Terrell offers a fresh take on the importance of provincial influences and the role of commodities and commerce in shaping the nation.
