Overview
With wit, enthusiasm, and a deep respect for the craft of brewing, Andy Crouch profiles nearly one hundred establishments in New England, offering a description and history of each, as well as insights into each brewmaster's philosophy and brewing style. For each brewery and brewpub profiled, Crouch covers the range of beers available and identifies its flagship product; he also highlights his choice for its "best beer," which is rarely its most popular or best known offering.Crouch offers judicious evaluations of food, ambience, and of course, the beer; he also provides information on the availability of tours, directions and parking, hours of operation, entertainment, local sights of interest, and whether beer is available for take-away. In addition, he includes essays on the brewing process, understanding and appreciating beer, and a list of "eleven great New England beer bars."
Whether well-brewed beer is the focus of a trip or a welcomed complement, beer enthusiasts and novices alike will find this guide a worthwhile companion wherever they travel in New England.
Editorials
From Barnes & Noble
Boston-based Andy Crouch earns his bread as a criminal lawyer but devotes his spare time to BeerScribe.com, a web site "dedicated to the art and complexity of beer." That complexity is refreshingly simplified by the webmaster's superlative Good Beer Guide to New England, a robust brew of expertise about nearly 100 New England beer makers and brewpubs. Crouch's profiles include information about each brewery, its history, and brewing style; evaluations of each product; and details about food and ambience; directions and parking; hours of operation and tours.From the Publisher
