5.0 out of 5 stars The Brew Pub Bible, August 22, 2000

By 

John Pompeo (Lexington, MA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: What's Brewing in New England: A Guide to Brewpubs and Microbreweries (Paperback)

If you appreciate a quality beer as much as I do, then this is the book for you. Not only does this book introduce you to all the delicious craft brews of New England, but a little history of each Pub is provided, along with the food each offers. Many attractions in the area that make each city and town of New England unique are also mentioned. (Visiting them also develops a tremendous thirst). You can't enjoy a Brew Pub restaurant unless you can find it. Reading "What's Brewing in New England" will accomplish your goal.

Kate Cone's book is terrific, with great and accurate reviews of all the New England Brewpubs and Microbreweries I've visited myself. On top of that, she maintains updates via her Website which is accessible via Amazon itself. An absolute must for the devotee of fine and unusual tasting experiences.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Solid Guidebook for New England's Microbrewing Scene, August 16, 2000

By 

Brett Peruzzi (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews

This review is from: What's Brewing in New England: A Guide to Brewpubs and Microbreweries (Paperback)

Kate Cone has done an admirable job of providing a guide to the New England microbrewing scene. A few of the breweries mentioned have since closed, and there have also been some openings of new breweries since the book's publication, but it's still probably the most detailed guide you'll find of craft brewing in New England.

With this book in hand, you could embark on either a weekend or a full week of blissful wandering through New England's distinctive craft breweries, both brewpubs and microbreweries.

Cheers!
