content: Oral history interview with Carol Stoudt, who founded Stoudts Brewing Company in Adamstown, Pennsylvania, in 1987. Topics covered include Stoudt's initial encounters with German styles of beer during her travels; the processes involved in procuring the financing for her brewery, constructing the brewery and learning how to brew; working to distribute her beer in the region around Philadelphia; communicating with other figures active in the early years of American microbrewing, such as Charlie Papazian and John Hall; the relationship between food and beer; and Stoudt's experiences as a woman in the brewing industry. Stoudt is one of the first women brewmasters in the U.S. following Prohibition and an early leader in the Mid-Atlantic microbrewing scene.
