Reviews for A Perfect Pint´s Beer Guide to the Heartland
"As someone who has written about beer for over thirty years I can tell you that it is almost impossible to write a book like this without falling into jargon or repetition of descriptions, and this author fell victim to neither. . . . This is research at its best."
Peter LaFrance, author of Cooking & Eating with Beer
