The Northeast has experienced an explosion of microbreweries and brew
pubs producing a fascinating array of beers from IPAs to stouts, lagers,
and porters. The number of microbreweries 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, information
about their hours of operation, their menus, and even some recipes. The
breweries are not ranked, as beer preference is so subjective, but Cone
does share her personal experiences and opinions. She covers every
brewery in the region, so she's able to help you find the places, but
it's up to you to determine which you like the best.
