{"product_id":"pilsner-tom-acitelli-9781641601825","title":"Pilsner: How the Beer of Kings Changed the World","description":"\u003cem\u003ePilsner\u003c\/em\u003e tells the remarkable tale of the world's most popular beer style. It begins with its humble birth in a far corner of the Austrian Empire in 1842, goes through its zenith and near death during Prohibition in the United States, and concludes with its present dominance worldwide. Pilsner was born during a remarkable mid-nineteenth-century epoch, and this first biography of the style places it in its historical context, where it intersected with revolutions in politics and technology, including the railroad, refrigeration, and germ science. The book shatters myths about pilsner's very birth and about its immediate parentage, showing that it's largely a German invention rather than a Czech one. \u003cem\u003ePilsner\u003c\/em\u003e also pops the top on new insights into the style and into beer in general through a character-driven narrative that shows how pilsner influenced everything from modern-day advertising and marketing to today's craft beer movement--which is driven by a reaction to pilsner's dominance in the form of brands such as Budweiser, Bud Light, Miller Light, Heineken, and Snow (the world's best-selling beer, a pilsner out of China).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tom Acitelli\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1641601825\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781641601825\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Chicago Review Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/04\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.90w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/13\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2020 pg. 11","brand":"Tom Acitelli","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44046158266623,"sku":"9781641601825","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1c24214a-1385-47e0-b91f-b8138a7bb53a.jpg?v=1684982974","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pilsner-tom-acitelli-9781641601825","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
