Red, White, and Brew: An American Beer Odyssey

Each time Satan and I have gone on our Missions from God (or gone to NHC), we have tried to stop at a brew pub in each town we pass through. Sometimes we succeed, and sometimes we fail, but we always find some good beer. But we seldom stay long enough to visit with the brewer and learn their stories.

Brian Yaeger, though, did exactly that. He stopped at 26 breweries, 17 brewpubs and talked to the brewers, and got enough stories to fill a book he called Red, White, and Brew: An American Beer Odyssey.

Check out his website, and follow along with Brian as he crosses the country. He's given me something to think about while Satan and I are en route to Oakland next year.

And if your going to be in Austin on 10/27, Brian will be signing his book at Opal Divine's Freehouse, 700 West 6th Street, from 6-9 pm. I think I might try to make that. . .
