Microbrewed Murder

by Bill Metzger

When Nate Callahan died, his brother Ed found himself the sudden owner of a micro brewery. And the bearer of a promise to his younger brother to make the venture succeed. Ed never pictured himself as a businessman. He had watched his brother build Callahans Brewery from the comfort of a tenured university professorship. In his forties, married and on a safe career path, he lacked the gregarious nature necessary to run a business built on beer. Running a brewery better suited his brother, a high school football star and pension fund manager who had quit his job and used his money to open Callahans. But Nate's untimely death thrust him into the new career. Someone had to carry on the family name and provide meaning to his brother's dream. "We have no other family," his brother had said. "This is our legacy." Determined to fulfill the promise to his brother, Ed expected to encounter some difficulties. What he didn't expect was that someone wanted Callahans to fail. And would attempt anything, including murder, to achieve that goal.

Knowing the author and having quaffed a few pints in his brewery definitely helped me understand and appreciate this book more. I see more good novels coming from Mr. Metzger.
