Summary

Archival and contemporary photographs, along with detailed captions highlight the evolution of American brewery trucks from horse-drawn wagons to modern motorized rigs. The photos detail both the interiors and exteriors of the trucks as they load and unload beverages from major breweries like Anheuser-Busch, Miller and Coors, as well as regional zymurgists such as Rolling Rock, Leinenkugel and Sam Adams.
