The author reveals that beer is as old as agriculture, that Columbus found the natives of Central America brewing a beverage "resembling beer," in in 1502; that America's pioneer brewery was built in lower Manhatten Island (New York City) in 1623 by the Dutch West India Company. The book also relates that many famous early American patriots Were brewers, and that since 1933, when national prohibition was repealed, the beer industry of the United States has contributed about eight billion dollars to federal, state and^local governments. In a chapter featuring "sixty centuries of brewing." evidence is given of the art of brewing as far back as 6,200 years ago. A Mesopotamian seal or drawing, baked in pottery, reproduced in the book, shows two workers at a brewery vat. That beer comprised a part of Noah's cargo on the Ark. accord ing to a tablet found in Nineveh and translated by Prof: Paul Haupt of Johns Hopkins Univer sity, is another interesting fact mentioned in the book. The Pilgrims might have landed at their original destination. Virginia, instead of Plymouth, had not the supply of beer on the "Mayflower" run low, says a jour nal of the voyage, published in 1662. The vessel had to seek harbor ahead of schedule, " For we could not now take time for further search or consideration; our victuals being much spent, especially our beer," the journal records: When the Continental Congress established the daily ration for American soldiers in the Revolu tion, a quart of beer per day per man was included, and. General Washington wrote in 1777 that the troops at Germantown sadly missed their favorite brew. Early American colonials and {revolutionists played a major role in the development of the brewing Industry in this country. For example, William Penn erected brewery adjoining his.manor house in Bucks county, Pa. Samuel Adams. "Father of the Revolution" was a brewer and son of a brewer Thomas Chittenden, first governor of Vermont, was a brewer and tavernkeeper. George Washington liked his mug of beer; a recipe for making It, In his own handwriting exists in a notebook dating 1757. Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry. Israel Putnam, James Madison and other famous Revolu tionary figures, favored beer as beverage of moderation. Dr. Ben jamin Rush, physician-general of the continental army in the Rev olutioniry war, wrote of malt bev erages: "They are. moreover wben taken in a moderate quan tity, generally innocent, and often have a friendly influence upon health and life." The book points out that in 1810 the country's breweries had an output of 180,000 barrels, with an estimated value of $960,000. In the fiscal year 1948, the beer and ale output was more than 91,000,000 barrels, valued at retail at about $4,555,000,000. As a taxpayer, the American brewing industry is among the ten highest tax-paying industries of the nation. In 1948. federal and state governments collected about $9000,000,000 from brewers and distributors.
