Fred Eckhardt’s Treatise on Lager Beer Paste-Ups

January 29, 2016 By Jay Brooks

You probably saw the news that the papers of the late, great Fred Eckhardt were donated to the Oregon Hops & Brewing Archives, which describes itself as “a community archiving project housed in the Special Collections & Archives Research Center at the OSU Libraries & Press. We’re actively collecting materials that tell the story of hops production and the craft beer industry.” The Brew Historian, who may or may not be Tiah Edmundon-Morton, has been teasing out Fred’s papers since acquiring the collection, and has a Tumblr so you can follow along. Today, the OHBA posted a particularly fun one.

In his early Seventies book, A Treatise on Lager Beer, Fred apparently did all of the layout himself. And they found the originals among his personal papers. These, below, are “the original construction paper paste-ups for his Treatise on Lager Beer,” and believed to have been created around 1970. Pretty cool.

    What a treasure Eckhardt left for all of us! For the sake of historical accuracy, once I did some double checking in the actual publications, turns out these are from his mashing article and from a set of slides he used to lecture on the art of beer making at home.

    So created when he was writing Treatise on Lager Beer, but for those who pulled out their copies and didn’t see anything this cool, I’m sure he would have included them if he could!
