True Brew: A Guide to Craft Beer in Indiana [Paperback]

Review

“Breweries have always reflected the tastes and culture of society. In no place is that more true than Indiana. Our ever-evolving appetite for Hoosier beers has changed for the better and Rita Kohn has captured the process as it happens.” — Bob Mack, World Class Beverages”The stories in this book illustrate continuity, interconnectedness, and civic concern… illuminate constant change grounded in a love of tradition… involve us in all aspects of the craft beer industry.” — Kevin McKinney, editor and publisher, NUVO

Red, White, and Brew: An American Beer Odyssey [Paperback]

From Publishers Weekly

Beer-enthusiast Yaeger writes about his travels throughout the country visiting microbreweries, and like most suds aficionados, he has an affinity for so-called craft beers. Throughout his odyssey—starting at the ancient Yuengling Brewery in Pottsville, Pa., and going West before concluding at the upstart Dogfish Head Craft Brewery in Delaware—he spends less time on the many beers he quaffs than he does on portraying the dedicated brewers running these quixotic enterprises. There’s good reason for that, as the people he comes across in his journey (crashing on couches, always buying a six-pack sampler of the local brewery’s wares on the way out of town) are an uncommonly determined lot. In Yaeger’s chatty interviews with the brewers, they talk about the business, the post-1980s renaissance in American beer and the common need to enter into distribution agreements with the likes of Anheuser Busch (if not letting themselves be bought outright).
