Red, White, and Brew: An American Beer Odyssey This instant


As a self proclaimed beergeek, and avid homebrewer, I found Red, White, and Brew a very enjoyable read, that forces the reader to keep turning pages to see what's next on the beer menu. The author does a nice job of getting behind the scenes of some of America's best breweries, and sheds some light on what makes these unique people tick.

My only critisism of the author's writing style lies in the way he weaves his own personal life experiences in with each of the interviews. I found this to be confusing at times, not completely sure if he was spaeking about himself, or the subject of his interview.

All in all this is a book worthy of a read by anyone who enjoys the craft brew revolution underway in our country, or just likes reading about, as well as drinking beer.Get more detail about Red, White, and Brew: An American Beer Odyssey.

Red, White, and Drunk All Over: A Wine-Soaked Journey from Grape to Glass Buy Now


I have enjoyed wine for many years before feeling the urge to learn more about it; fortunately, the book I stumbled onto to begin my 'wine scholarship' was Natalie MacLean's 'Red, White, and Drunk All Over.' She's a wonderful, witty, engaging tour guide through French and California wine countries, and I felt like I was right beside her as she tried her hand working as a wine merchant and sommelier. I so appreciate her down-to-earth approach to what can be an intimidating and overwhelming subject, and she's a terrific writer, too. I may never become a sommelier, but Natalie MacLean has definitely encouraged me to become an educated enthusiast of one of life's great pleasures.
