I have a new shipment of books and while you can order Beers and Beer Stories by the Regimental Brewmeister and The Fort Mifflin Bartenders’ Guide Book: A View into Colonial Era Spirits and Cocktails from Amazon, why not come to an event and take a copy home with you.  These books are my research for into the process of making beer and cocktails in the 18th Century and I have recipes which have been adapted to use modern equipment and materials so you can brew like its 1770.

Many of you have asked me to accept the modern equivalent of promissory notes (credit cards) and while transactions on credit by the East India Company are a significant part of the crisis between Parliament and Massachusetts, we are inclined to put our customers first (BUT NO TEA!).  The Regimental Brewmeister now accepts credit cards through Square.

So here is the deal.

  • Beers and Beer Stories by the Regimental Brewmeister  sells on Amazon for $20 (Note that the current “sale” is Amazon’s attempt to offload some books I returned as defective.  DO NOT buy the $5.92 copies unless you are willing to deal with this problem!).  I am continuing to sell signed copies at events for $15.00.
  • If you buy both order Beers and Beer Stories by the Regimental Brewmeister and The Fort Mifflin Bartenders’ Guide Book: A View into Colonial Era Spirits and Cocktails (Normally $15 ea.) I will sell the set for $20.00
  • I absorb sales tax and credit card fees (Amazon does not) as a cost of doing business and if you are carrying the book home the shipping costs are trivial.
  • Give these as gifts to your favorite history buff, homebrewer, or cocktail maker.
  • Most events also have free beer samples so why not come out.  Next opportunities to grab a copy before the holidays are:
    • October 22 – Richard Wall House (Cheltenham, PA)
    • November 4 — Dover’s 18th Century Market Fair (Dover, DE)
    • December 9 – Deck the Alley, Elfreth’s Alley (Philadelphia, PA)
