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.

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!

Food isn't my #1 interest but this book's title caught my eye, I picked it up and couldn't put it down. Fascinating (and tempting) facts, extremely well-written with wit and panache, this book kept me interested throughout and furnished me with useful information along with the motivation to explore the places Ms. Cone tells about and sample their products. The ONLY reason I didn't give the book 5 stars is the simple fact that it's not a suspense-thriller. I only give 5 stars to those books....and rarely to them.
