Anyone that knows me is vastly aware I have a love for craft beer (vodka, whiskey... I digress) which in point drove me to pick this little gem up.

'Craft Beer Brewery Guide to All 50 States A Comprehensive Travel Guide to Over 1000 Breweries, Taprooms, Beer Gardens & Brewpubs in the U.S.A' (breathtaking, literally) was picked up on a whim and I was pleasantly surprised to find how much in jammed packed into this book. I'm sure there are far more in depth books out there that are far more detailed but considering how I am a novice, this was a good starting point.

Nonetheless, this book is a travel must have if you plan on venturing out to explore unique and tasteful beers around the states or just plan on adding a stop to your road trip. In this extensive guide, readers can find nearly (big emphasize because some are missing) every brewpub, watering hole, beer garden, and taproom in the United States. Not only does the author pinpoint a whole lot, he also includes the address, phone number, and website for the featured brewery which also includes recommendations from the author himself. What more can we ask for?

A plus side to this guide was seeing what was in my local neighborhood. I couldn't help but be amazed to see the list of the hot spots in Philadelphia/Pennsylvania were. I have been to some places but so many I plan on visiting when life settles down.

So overall, pretty straightforward, direct and a decent list of breweries that you may or may not know about.
