Críticas:
"Bitter Brew deftly chronicles the contentious succession of kings in a uniquely American dynasty. You'll never crack open a six again without thinking of this book." -- John Sayles, Director of "Eight Men Out" and author of A Moment in the Sun "As the Busch family goes, so goes America. Bill Knoedelseder has taken their multi-generational saga and boiled it down into a heartfelt, hilarious ode to beer, baseball and business." -- Michael London, Academy Award-nominated producer of "Sideways" "A great American story told as well and it could be told. I'll never drink a Bud the same way again." -- Larry Leamer, bestselling author of the Kennedy family trilogy, The Kennedy Women, The Kennedy Men and Sons of Camelot "An engrossing behind-the-scenes look at one of America's most successful and familiar brands." -- Kirkus "[A] thoroughly researched and thoughtfully written book." -- Publishers Weekly "...well-written, and thoroughly documented company history...VERDICT A real-life family saga, this book is full of domestic and company details, some of which are sordid, others commendable. Recommended for readers interested in the backstory behind the King of Beers." -- Library Journal "An engrossing saga of the Busch family, one of the wealthiest, longest-lasting, and most colorful family dynasties in the history of American commerce." -- USA Today "[I]ntoxicating reading... This is a lurid, fascinating tale, which narrowly escapes the charge of being sensationalist thanks to its factual grounding and the significance of its subject-a family business that managed to dominate an industry but could not get its own dysfunction under control." -- Wall Street Journal "[An] engaging narrative." -- Daily Beast
Reseña del editor:
Stretching across three centuries, from the start of the Civil War through two World Wars and Prohibition to today, Bitter Brew tells the astonishing story of how five generations of men-fathers, sons, and brothers - took a small, bankrupt brewery on the banks of the Mississippi and built it into an international colossus. It is the story of America's past and present-a tale of promise and fulfillment for immigrants like Adolphus Busch, determined to strike it rich; and of a modern generation who squandered that dream. It is a story of breathtaking wealth, political power, and public acclaim-and of heartbreak, scandal, tragedy, and death. In chronicling the rise and fall of the Busch family and its business, veteran journalist William Knoedelseder tells a broader story of American progress and decline over the last 150 years.
