I recall seeing a montage of Wisconsin beer labels from about 1900 that contained the names of Christmas Ale, bock, English Mild, porter and many others. So how, in a little more than a century, did we change into the beer weenies who now buy pallid, rice- and corn-enthused light beer by the millions of gallons?
