I gave this book as a gift and years later my brother is still grateful. It started him on the path to brewing at home.

if you're interested in small business -- and, i guess, not even breweries, really, but in this specific brewery -- this is the book for you! if you are interested in beer, this is not the book for you.

very readable but not very engrossing. it reads a lot like a polished press release and is pretty emotionless, which i get (if you have a business public face you don't want to "open up" i guess) but there were some moments that could have been great, especially considering one of the authors was a foreign correspondent.

ho-hum. wouldn't recommend it.

This book provides the history of craft brewing in the U.S. The discussions of the founders are interesting as they were leaders to a better (beer) world. He also provides discussion of the uphill struggles, be it against the big 2, distributors, protectionist state laws, misguided state laws and the impact that the prohibition mistake is still having today.

At times, the author was almost too even keeled. I was expecting the chapter where there was a call to arms over some of the dated laws which tend to not favor the small brewer but in all he seemed to maintain a respectful voice to the point of it not being entirely clear which side of a couple issues he took.

I will advise you of this. If you are reading this book, you must like good beer and as you read, that is all you will be thinking about. My suggestion is to buy a couple of fine brews prior to cracking the book and avoid running out to the store like I had to do.

Not bad. Not much on the beer side, but it's a nice book if you're starting to think of running your own business. Focused a good deal on the distribution side and on the goal to have the business allow the original investors to "cash out". Not bad.
