I was thoroughly disappointed with the conclusion of the book, though I was convinced, long before the end, that the book was more about beer production (mass to craft) and beer styles than been joints. I liked reading about how beer is marketed, the changing of the beer scene (e.g. "The Lager Wars"), and the liberalization of beer production (e.g. legalization of homebrewing in the 1970s) and the increasing diversity of beer in America.

This book is not about beer joints. The author should have shed that format long before the final edit.

But I enjoying reading the book for what it is. I hope I can find a better American beer travelogue.
