Beer, A History of Brewing in Chicago by Bob Skilnik

In the first chapter, maybe even the preface, the author begins to complain that Chicago never recovered from the Great Fire and never will.

This was during the craft beer explosion of the twenty-teens, mind, and I myself worked at a Chicago brewery at the time.

I decided then and there that the book was hopelessly out of date and not worth reading.
