The Ontario Craft Beer Guide [Paperback]

Forget wine tours! This is the comprehensive guide to Ontarios craft-beer revival and the brewers behind it.

The renaissance of craft beer that has swept North America over the past thirty years has transformed the Ontario landscape, leaving over two hundred breweries, both great and humble, dotting the province. The diversity of craft beers we now enjoy is unprecedented in history and dazzling to behold. For the growing number of people who find their interest piqued, the sheer selection of brews can be intimidating.

Noted experts Jordan St. John (Lost Breweries of Toronto) and Robin LeBlanc (The Thirsty Wench) tell the stories of some of Ontarios most notable breweries and provide expert ratings for nearly a thousand beers.Anyone who drinks beer in Ontario owes LeBlanc and St. John a pint for completing the arduous (no, really) job of cataloguing and rating many hundreds of brands, resulting in a thorough, authoritative and fascinating list.A hugely useful new intro to the beautiful madness that is the current scene.
