Beer, brewing, and business history
这篇社论介绍了《商业史》期刊关于啤酒与酿造业的特刊，概述了该产业的历史发展及其对商业史研究的意义，并简要说明了收录的八篇文章。
This editorial introduces the eight articles in the special issue on ‘Beer, brewing and business history’. Following the BEERONOMICS conference held at the University of York, 2013, and the subsequent approval of the editorial board of Business History, we received many submissions discussing beer, brewing, and their importance to business history (broadly defined). In this editorial we provide a brief overview of the historical development of beer and brewing; explain the appeal to business historians of the principal themes which have emerged in the historiography of this industry, and provide a short introduction to the articles accepted for publication in this special issue.
