Beer Here: A Traveler's Guide to American Brewpubs and Microbreweries [Paperback]

Stuart A. Kallen (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Beer has made a remarkable comeback in recent years, with yuppies casting aside their mineral water and women their wine to chug brewskies with the blue-collar crowd. Much of the brewhaha is due to the advent of microbreweries (small independent brewers), which, with smaller batches of a higher-quality product, are luring drinkers away from the Milwaukee swill of their youth. This work presents a brief history of beer along with short takes on the essential ingredients and the differences among types of brews (lagers, ales, stouts, etc.). The main body of the volume, however, is a state-by-state guide to microbreweries and brewpubs (breweries with bars attached). Each listing includes name, address, and phone number plus types of beers sold, tour availability, and author commentary. With new microbreweries opening steadily, this will go out of date within a few years but is recommended nonetheless for collections lacking a similar guide.?Michael Rogers, "Library Journal"

This review is from: Beer Here: A Traveler's Guide to American Brewpubs and Microbreweries (Paperback)

Kallen's book "Beer Here" was one of the first texts to REALLY identify the microbrew/brewpub movement that was underway in the U.S. from the early ninety's to the time of its publishing (1995). His style is humorous, easy going and very readible. Although I am sure this book is now slightly out of date, rest assured it is a great travel reference and a firm background in some of the greatest names in beer. I used this book extensively while on active duty and it has listings for ALMOST all the 50 states. From New Mexico to Maine and beyond I have visited brewpubs and breweries in about 41 states. Don't go on vacation with out this definitive guide to beer. Combine it with a current beer guide, and you will have the most accurate and up to date reference for great beer in the United States. Highly recomended!!
