A Great Gift for the Craft Beer Enthusiast - A Travel Guide to Craft Beer Breweries Across the United States
You've heard of a wine trail, but what about an ale trail? On your next road trip, take a look at some of the nation's independent craft beer breweries. In this extensive guide, you'll find nearly every brewpub, watering hole, beer garden, and taproom in the United States. The listings include the address, phone number, and website for the featured brewery. For those that my personal favorite or have been recommended to me by close friends, I have also included a short description in the listing.
Whether you're into IPAs, pilsners, or white ales, there is a brewery for you.
In my book, Craft Beer Brewery Guide to All 50 States, I will show you how your next vacation can be made even more enjoyable by visiting a locally owned and operated brewery. These brewpubs and taprooms will provide you with a unique experience you won't soon forget.
Beer enthusiasts will delight in the idea of taking a trip just to sample interesting local brews. In my book, I will show you where to go and how to travel to make the most of your stay, including daily itineraries with travel directions. The states are listed alphabetically, but I will show you how to go around the brewery trails geographically within the states.
In this book, we'll discuss all aspects of enjoying the right pint of beer.
When it comes to beer, you likely think of people sitting at a bar and drinking from a glass. However, properly serving and tasting beer is so much more than this. First, we're going to look at how to properly serve and store beer. Then we'll consider how best to drink beer. In order to properly serve and taste beer, you first need to make sure you have the right glassware. I will show you how to pick the right glassware for serving beer.
We will also discuss brewery and taproom beer tasting etiquette. Tasting beer is much more than taking a swig and swallowing it down. When you taste and truly appreciate a good craft beer, you should be able to articulate your experience. With this book, you will learn how. This might seem simple, but just as you would with wine, there is a right way to properly taste your beer. I will also give you an extensive beer style guide to help you determine the differences between craft beers.
Another important part of beer tasting is how to properly store your beer before drinking and then how to properly pour it into your selected glass. Beer should be treated just like any other perishable food.
