Maine Beer: - Brewing in Vacationland (Paperback)

In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Maine was a stronghold for the temperance movement, but the Pine Tree State emerged from Prohibition to create a beer culture that rivals any other in the United States. Early pioneers, like D.L. Geary, established the Northeast s love affair with English-style ales, and today s upstarts brew unique and inventive recipes. Maine brewers create beer for every palate, and Maine s unique flavors like blueberries, potatoes and even oysters are frequently featured. Maine beer expert Josh Christie discovers the story of brewing in Vacationland by exploring Maine s large breweries, like Shipyard; its local crafters, like Rising Tide; the budding cider, spirits and mead industries; and, of course, the best places to drink across the state.
