Pausing for a Cool One
For over 300 years, prairie-dwellers have been brewing, selling and sipping their beers. 300 Years of Beer by Bill Wright and Dave Craig is a look back at Manitoba's colourful brewing past. With over 400 colour illustrations of rare beer labels, retro bottles and ads dating back to the 1870s, Wright and Craig chronicle the history of Manitoba suds from the beer baron era of Patrick Shea and E.L. Drewry to the microbrewers of today.
