What's Brewing in New England: A Guide to Brewpubs and Craft Breweries

By Kate Cone

Book Overview

The number of microbreweries in New England has grown by leaps and bounds since the first edition of this guide was published nearly twenty years. Now, Kate Cone has traveled the length and breadth of the region to both research the breweries profiled in the first edition and the newcomers that have sprung up since, and of course to sample their products. The new volume includes interviews with the brewers, anecdotes and stories about the breweries and brewpubs, as well as directions and information about their hours of operation. The breweries are not ranked, as beer preference is so subjective, but Cone does share her personal experiences and opinions.

The Brew Pub Bible

If you appreciate a quality beer as much as I do, then this is the book for you. Not only does this book introduce you to all the delicious craft brews of New England, but a little history of each Pub is provided, along with the food each offers. Many attractions in the area that make each city and town of New England unique are also mentioned. (Visiting them also develops a tremendous thirst). You can't enjoy a Brew Pub restaurant unless you can find it. Reading "What's Brewing in New England" will accomplish your goal.

A Solid Guidebook for New England's Microbrewing Scene

Kate Cone has done an admirable job of providing a guide to the New England microbrewing scene. A few of the breweries mentioned have since closed, and there have also been some openings of new breweries since the book's publication, but it's still probably the most detailed guide you'll find of craft brewing in New England.With this book in hand, you could embark on either a weekend or a full week of blissful wandering through New England's distinctive craft breweries, both brewpubs and microbreweries.Cheers!

My Most Pleasant Surprise of the Year

Food isn't my #1 interest but this book's title caught my eye, I picked it up and couldn't put it down. Fascinating (and tempting) facts, extremely well-written with wit and panache, this book kept me interested throughout and furnished me with useful information along with the motivation to explore the places Ms. Cone tells about and sample their products. The ONLY reason I didn't give the book 5 stars is the simple fact that it's not a suspense-thriller. I only give 5 stars to those books....and rarely to them.
