The Great American Ale Trail, by Christian DeBenedetti
DeBenedetti, a Men’s Journal contributor, authored the most cohesive, exhaustive, and enjoyable account of the American craft brewing scene to date. From Alaska to Texas, Colorado to Boston, DeBenedetti’s poignant exploration of brewers, beer pubs, and local trends provides an intimate account of every reach of the beer scene in the U.S.. Such depth could only come from years of reporting and first person encounters with the beers at the heart of American craft culture. It’s a tough job, but somebody had to do it. For: All walks of brewers, drinkers, connoisseurs; the beer-curious.
