Best American Beers: An Enthusiast's Guide to the Most Distinctive Craft Brews of the Us and Canada

by Ben Myers (Editor)

This finely illustrated, pocket-sized guide provides up to date recommendations of the 100 best breweries in North America and Canada. The book is divided into nine regional sections, each of which features dedicated full-length profiles of the region's key breweries, with a listing of their recommended beers, plus, of course, photographs of the labels and often of the brewery or local bar. Each region concludes with an "Also Worth Trying' section that highlights other producers whose brews are well worth sampling. The book also includes an illustrated A-Z of Brewing section that provides all the necessary technical information for the most inspired of readers.

[Ted Manahan]

Definitely dated (1999), I kept looking up breweries and brewers to find out where they are now. It's good to see that many storied names are still going strong!

A great little book documenting the landscape of North American craft brewing at the end of the Twentieth Century. Invaluable to beer junkies like myself.
