America is now home to more beer styles than anywhere else in the world and our flourishing brewing industry has a growing reputation for quality and innovation. This authoritative and entertaining guide to the breweries, brewpubs, and bars of the West Coast, Alaska, and Hawaii, is written by two experienced British beer writers who have spent considerable time traveling in the U.S. and developing an infectious enthusiasm for our exciting beers and brewing scene. Also included are sections on West Coast history, American brewing, and the story of the brewpub.

Don't usually rate travel guides but picked this up on a whim from the library and did what I always do with guides - see if they review somewhere I've been and if our opinions match up. These two happen to be my pub soul mates. Thus I am buying a copy to keep permanently in the car, for those day trips and more planned trips.

As this was published in 2008, it is hopelessly out-of-date now (2024). Pick this up if you want to see a time capsule of the beer scene back then, but only if you see it on sale for cheap.
