Beer Ghosts: In Search of Lost Hops and the Women Who Grew Them

Book cover with a dark green background featuring a faded vintage photograph of a crowd of people. A large circular badge design in gold and cream sits at the center, styled like a vintage beer label with decorative hop leaves and ornamental scrollwork. Text inside the badge reads "Made in Wisconsin" along the top arc, "Beer Ghosts" in large bold lettering across the middle, and "Jennifer A. Jordan" below. At the bottom of the cover, a banner reads "In Search of Lost Hops and the Women Who Grew Them." Decorative Art Nouveau–style corner embellishments frame all four corners of the cover.

Jennifer Jordan‘s (UW System Fellow, 2022-2023) book Beer Ghosts: In Search of Lost Hops and the Women Who Grew Them (October 2026) is now forthcoming with The University of Chicago Press.
