New Book on BC Craft Beer

Craft Beer Revolution - The Insider's Guide to B.C. Breweries

12/08/2013

Joe Wiebe a.k.a ‘the Thirsty Writer’ has published a book called ‘Craft Beer Revolution’ that is a must-read for any serious British Columbia craft beer enthusiast, or for anyone curious to know a bit about the origins, history, and current state of craft beer in the province.

With an engaging style, Joe, who has been a fan of B.C. craft beer for about 20 years and has been a serious beer writer for the last 5 years or so, takes us on an odyssey around the province by region, stopping in at all the craft breweries and providing each brewery’s history and product highlights, as well as noteworthy beers in each region.

What really made the book stand out for me, though, was the array of interesting side-bars along the way, featuring key characters in the development of the industry, evolving trends, prime drinking spots, and general craft beer-related observations and opinions. These additional pieces make this a true “Insider’s Guide”.

It’s a great read and a handy reference, highly recommended. You can find it at your local book store or Amazon, but if you order it right from the Craft Beer Revolution site, you can get an autographed copy. Bonus!

The only small complaint I have is that the British Columbia Beer Guide is not included in the list of ‘Blogs and Websites’. Maybe I’ll make the grade for the next edition…which, with the industry growing the way it is now, will surely be needed within another couple of years. :)
