Chapters examine topics such as government policies (e.g., taxation, legislation, regulations), how beer and beerscapes are presented and perceived (e.g., marketing, neolocalism, roles of women, use of media), and the importance of place (e.g., terroir of ingredients, social and economic impacts of beer, beer clubs).
