Minnesota's Best Breweries and Brewpubs: Searching for the Perfect Pint

By Robin Shepard

Based on four years of travel and research, Minnesota's Best Breweries and Brewpubs is a welcome addition to Robin Shepard's series of guides to the best of the Midwest's beer industries. From large-scale breweries such as Cold Spring, to chains like Granite City, to individual brewpubs like Fitger's Brewhouse, Shepard provides commentary for more than thirty beer makers and three-hundred Minnesota beers. Accessible enough for people at all stages in their journeys to discover great-tasting beer, the information-packed guidebook also features a list of helpful books and websites, as well as information on Minnesota's beer tastings and festivals.
For each brewery and brewpub site you'll find:
- a description and brief history, plus many "don't miss" features
- a description of beers on tap and a list of seasonal and specialty beers
- a space for the brewmaster's autograph
- notes on the pub food, with recommendations
- suggestions of nearby sights and activities
- general directions to the location
- Shepard's personal ratings of the experience, plus room to add your own.
