The geographic distribution of archeological evidence shows beer has been a part of many societies for millennia. Beer (fermented, non-distilled beverage from grains) was produced on every continent, save Australia and Antarctica. Today, of course, beer can be found on every continent. But the recent craft beer explosion only started in the 1980s. As brewers experimented and new beer styles increased in number, scholars started branching out in their investigations of beer. The spatial differences and distribution of beer lent themselves to exploration by geographers in many subfields of the discipline. The articles that follow have been grouped into five major areas in which geographic research tends to fall—namely, Regions and Societies, Neolocalism, Environment and Sustainability, Economics, and History. |
