Great American Craft Beer by Andy Crouch

A lively, accessible guide to the rise and influence of the American craft-brewing movement, weaving history, profiles of pioneering breweries and brewers, and clear explanations of styles and brewing techniques into a narrative about how small producers reshaped taste and industry. It balances storytelling and practical information—tasting notes, recommendations, and behind-the-scenes looks at brewing processes—with reflections on business, community, and the cultural shift that turned craft beer from niche hobby into a national phenomenon. The book serves both as an introduction for curious drinkers and a road map for exploring breweries, beer styles, and the people who made the movement possible.
