Beer and craft brewing oral history interviews

About this collection

    This digital collection contains a series of interviews conducted in 2015 and 2016 on the business of craft brewing in the Mid-Atlantic region of the U.S. The collection includes interviews with brewers and brewery owners from Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia. Additionally, interviews were conducted that cover packaging (canning), distribution, retail sales, and the politics around regulating the alcohol business.
    The Beer and craft brewing oral history interviews (Accession 2016.287) collection was developed by Gregory Hargreaves, Hagley's former Oral Historian. Hargreaves also conducted the interviews for the project.
