Being a busy brewer, I seldom get the chance to travel far and sample the efforts of other North American brewers. Reading 'Best American Beers' has changed my priorities. I'm hitting the road with a tremendous thirst thanks to Myers' factual, concise descriptions and ridiculously witty prose!

Ben is very well written, very eloquent. He is an extremely informative writer. He gives the whole picture and helps me to have a sharp grasp of the procedures and the tastes that he has experienced. To me, Ben is greatly appreciated.

As a homebrewer and beer enthusiast who travels quite a bit, I have been looking for a manageable beer guide/road map. Thanks to Mr. Myers et al. for providing just that. Let the journey begin!!

When traveling throughout North America this pocket size 'thirst inducer' is a must! Prost to Ben Meyers! ­Merf, Product Development Bert Grant's Ales

Mr. Myers' book cuts through the fluff and BS put out by most brewery PR wonks, and tells the craft beer story like it REALLY is. I laughed, I cried, I ordered another beer (from Ben's recommended list, of course). His inights into Northwest beers are particularly inspired. I've also found that the book works great as an unusually tall beer coaster, too!

An at-a-glance pocket guide to the regional "stars" of the craft brew trade. Reads quick. Reviews are concise. Each brewery is represented by a nice photo next to the label that gives the reader a sense of the "flavor" of the operation --- there's personality in each turn of the page. Recommendations and tasting notes are included. It's all there.

Thanks again to Ben Myers, I have hundreds of new craft brews to taste! And some are right in my backyard. A great father's day gift, too.

Ben Myer's knowledge of the craft beer industry is tremendous. His second book is informative and fun to read. His love for this product is infectious -- even a non-beer lover will want to get out and try a few of these brews!

This book hits on pretty much all of the important craft breweries from when it was written. I would like to see an updated version with a current list of each brweries beers. This would be a more exhaustive and inclusive book which would obviously be larger and more expensive. For what this book is I think it is very informative and well written. Good place to start for an overview of the major American craft breweries and a little of their background.
