A great resource for beer travellers! Not as complete as I would like, but the task at hand is a daunting one with so many places to review and the ever-changing face of the industry. It will be a fantastic reference for our travels to tell us what is in a particular area and whether a place might be worth trying. A must-have for those who travel and love good beer! Keep up the good work, Stan!

The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that this book hasn't been updated. Fortunately it provides phone numbers for each spot so just make sure you CALL FIRST especially if you're going out of your way to find one of these gems. I used it for the better part of every summer from 2001-2007 and it was just absolutely invaluable but there were definitely a few places that weren't there anymore.

The book has a very strict rating system so even to get in there said something about the establishment and then there is the 4 star ratings. It is set up extremely user friendly in the sense that it is organized by state and then by major cities and then even by smaller towns. It gives you an idea of atmosphere, food options, pricing. Usually where there is good beer there are good people and good people are always a welcome addition to any roadtrip. This book should be stored right next to your atlas/map/navigational system!

Safe travels & happy drinking!!!!

When I signed the publication contract for my first mystery novel, I suspected I may have some promotional journeys in store for me. I figured I'd be expected to travel to New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, Denver, San Francisco, and other places I knew fairly well. I never realized I'd also be appearing in Anchorage, Plano, Modesto, Yuma, Palm Springs, and countless other terrific towns across the United States promoting my novel. Since my book's publication, I've been doing all sorts of traveling, and this guide to watering holes has been a wonderful addition to my baggage. If you plan on being in an unfamiliar place, refer to this book. If you want to set up business meetings in territories you don't know well, use this book. If you want to find a pleasant dive in which to spend an evening, check out this book. THE BEER LOVER'S GUIDE TO THE USA is the modern author's most indispensable companion. Buy it! Read it! Take care of this book, and this book will take care of you!

Outstanding compendium of good beer institutions and hangs. Well researched. Great work. This is a valuable resource for those who can't take the computer/internet with them. cheers! silva
