Brian Alberts is a beer historian and regular contributor to our From Barons to Barrels series. The stories in this series were meant to be rooted in Midwestern beer history, but that doesn’t mean that it was meant to explore that history through conventional means.
Rather, the series connects some of the dots between past and present. And for GBH, that means through the lens of race, ethnicity, nationality, class, gender, and politics. When it comes to those things, history really does repeat itself.
