And, it's not just a litany of facts and information, but a synthesis of mammoth amounts of information that I would never read myself but appreciate Doug's work to bring it to light. If you haven't gotten it, do it--you'll be buying it someday as a "must have" in a beer library.

I was expecting your usual small-press work but I was really surprised. It was cool flipping to the back and seeing all the old breweries. If anything it sure does show that somebody with some skills can make a living brewing beer just about anyplace in the state. Since, obviously, it's been done before. I'd like to see this done with every state of the Union- that would be cool! It’s an awesome book all right. I was expecting your usual small-press work but I was really surprised.

The only bad part was seeing how many breweries I've closed in the past 11 years! Seriously though, Doug did a fantastic job. Every beer lover in Minnesota should pick up a copy.
