Description
Traces the tavern from old England to New England, showing how even the Puritans valued 'a good Beere.' Carries the story through the twentieth century and beyond, from struggles over licensing and Sunday liquor sales, from the Whiskey Rebellion to the temperance movement, and from attempts to ban voter 'treating' to Prohibition and repeal.
