Barrel-Aged Stout and Selling Out

Ever wonder how you went from seeing 3 kinds of beer on the shelf to 30? This book tells the tale!

Josh Noel tells the tale of Goose Island's humble origins as a Chicago brewpub, following its ascent into the craft beer stratosphere, and controversial sale to Anheuser-Busch. Noel dives deeply into the stories of both craft and macro (Bud, Miller, Coors) brewing, drawing rich portraits of several key players in the beer industry, and bringing nuance to a tale that sparked genuine outrage and fear in the craft community when it happened.
