Études sur la Bière

Abstract

I. IN a recent notice of an article on Brewing contributed by Mr. Pooley to Stanford's “British Manufacturing Industries,” some statistics were quoted showing the gigantic development which the production of beer has acquired in the United Kingdom. The amount of beermanufactured in the British Islands, vast though it be, forms yet but a small portion of that made throughout the world. Probably no industry—saving agriculture—employs so large an amount of capital as that of brewing and the various industries supported by it. Important though this old and at present vastly extended industry be, it is yet one which, until ve recently, scientific methods of investigation had done but little to add to our knowledge of the complex phenomena underlying the apparently simple art, and therefore even less in preventing the serious losses constantly occurring even with the most careful manufacturer.
