Early Hop Growing and Beer Production in the Genesee Country
From pioneer to immigrant, everyone enjoyed beer as a healthier alternative to often polluted well water. Learn how hops were grown and beer was made in the time of our ancestors, and where our early breweries and malt houses were located.
