[Footnote 1: Brewer's scale.]

The data reported in Tables X, XI, and XII give the results of analyses
of commercial American beers obtained from various breweries in
different parts of the United States as these beers are found on the
market at the present time; hence, they are of general value for the
purpose of showing the composition of American beers. These data also
are of considerable interest when we compare them with data relating to
American beers published by the department in 1887.[1] A comparison of
these two sets of figures shows that beers made at the present time have
a much lower percentage of alcohol and are made from a wort containing a
much lower percentage of solids than beers made a generation ago. The
average of 28 samples examined and reported in 1887 in
