Here is a copy of the "Brauer und Mälzer Kalendar für Deutschland und Oesterreich Jahrgang 1889-1890," i.e. Brewer and Maltster Calendar for Germany and Austria, Year 1889-1890, published in Stuttgart, Germany. The volume is printed entirely in German. The editors of the volume are L. Aubry, director at the Station for Brewing in Munich; Carl Lintner, director at the Brewers' School in Weihenstephan; Julius Thausing, brewery director in Vienna; and M. Krandauer of the brewing school at Weihenstephen. This particular copy was apparently bought and used by a brewer in the USA, as evidenced by a very faint ink stamp near bottom of front cover that reads, in part, "Milwaukee, Wis." The cover states that this volume is "Zweiter Theil," i.e. Part Two. It appears that these German-Austrian calendars were issued in two parts: 1) the first part was likely a pocket calendar full of mostly blank form-pages allowing brewers to keep track of brew batches. 2) the second part was a pocket-sized collection of articles containing both indepth text and also quick-reference material. The second part also contained many pages of advertisements for brewery-related products. This listing is for Part 2 only. It's Part 1 match is apparently long gone. This makes sense, since Part 1 would have become mostly useless once the year had ended and all its pages had been written-upon and used. Part 2, by contrast, would have retained its usefulness indefinitely. In this 1889-1890 edition of Part 2, there are 196 pages of articles and charts, followed by another 196 pages of advertisements. CONDITION: Fair to Good. Front and back paper covers are chipped around edges, with front paper cover having become separated. First 3 pages appear to have been bug-eaten around edges. Otherwise, internal pages are mostly clean. Binding is strong, though paper cover on outer spine has mostly chipped away.
