Beer in the United States has always been bound up with race, racism,
and the construction of white institutions and identities. Given the
very quick rise of craft beer, as well as the myopic scholarly focus on
economic and historical trends in the field, there is an urgent need to
take stock of the intersectional inequalities that such realities gloss
over. This unique book carves a much-needed critical and
interdisciplinary path to examine and understand the racial dynamics in
the craft beer industry and the popular consumption of beer.
