History, not the boring parade of facts and dates, but actual fascinating history is made up of little specific things. This brewer, this water supply, a cane with a secret compartment for yeast.

And if you want to do a deep dive into British beer history then the Brewing History Society might be for you. They have books and they have their quarterly journal which started way back when I was three. AKA 1973. It “comprises original articles, photographic essays, reprints of academic theses and difficult to obtain pieces, and book reviews.“
I think we just might need an American version as well.
