Gary Arndt and Allison McCoy are joined again by the sage of suds, Joel Hermansen, to discuss the transformation of beer into lager in the United States during the 19th century. Key points include the influence of German immigrants in bringing lager yeast and culture, the roles of cities like Milwaukee and St. Louis in brewing history, the impact of innovations such as the Erie Canal and pasteurization, and the rise of the temperance movement during this period.
