What is Brewmasters and Brewery Creek: A History of Craft Beer in Vancouver about?

This rigorously researched deep dive into the history of craft beer in Vancouver makes an exciting addition to books on the city's history, certain to appeal to beer-lovers and history buffs alike. Few would dispute that these days Vancouver is a prime craft beer destination, with over 70 breweries in the greater Vancouver area and 35+ in Vancouver proper. Beer has shaped the city's culture, and in turn, Vancouver's idiosyncratic identity has also shaped its craft beer. But how did it all begin? In this rigorously researched deep dive into the history of craft beer in Vancouver, beer historian and enthusiast Noëlle Phillips follows independent brewing from the city's inception in 1886 to the onset of prohibition in 1917 and, hopping over the "big beer" period of 1920-1980, dives into the explosion of micro, small-batch and craft breweries that dot the city's neighbourhoods today. She traces the smaller, lesser-known breweries, brewers, and owners through archival materials, newspaper accounts, and personal interviews. Along the way she uncovers stories and details that have been largely unknown even to local beer writers and aficionados. Illustrated with photos, original newspaper
