Craft Beers of the Pacific Northwest

In the 1970s a handful of brewers in Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia were tired of the traditional light and flavourless American beers and began exploring ways to make better beer brewed from local ingredients. The “microbrews” (as they were originally called) caught on, and the Northwest quickly became the centre of the craft beer movement that is now flourishing and spreading across the world. Craft Beers of the Pacific Northwest is an adventure through the 115 key breweries and brew pubs in Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia. With 18 pub-crawls, a beer guide and glossary, a list of the best bottle shops, Craft Beers of the Pacific Northwest has everything a beer lover needs to navigate the best of what the region has to offer.
