got down to the reasons why the average
American beer does no. compare in
quality with the Imported article. Here
they are; First, the American brewer
wants to get rich too quick. He doesn t
age his beer as he should. Second, he
uses 100 much corn in his mash. There
isn't kernel oil corn used in the brew Of
the beers Of Bohemia, which are the best
10 the world. No man can brew good
beer If be uses corn. There is too much
