Ale Trails: Craft Breweries and Brewpubs of Michigan's Upper
Peninsula</a> are the perfect way to quench your thirst after
visiting the many scenic wonders of the U.P. Tours are arranged
geographically from the shores of Lake Huron, across the north of
the peninsula close to Lake Superior and then east from the
Wisconsin border to the shores of Lake Michigan. Short essays on
each brewery introduce you to the brewers, the places their beers
are served, and the flavors of the beers themselves. Stott
includes road maps for each ale trail and photographs of each
establishment, making the breweries easy to find</span><br>

C. Stott has done a meticulous job of supplying the craft beer
lover with everything they would want to know about U.P. craft
breweries and brewpubs. As of the writing of this book, there
are 29 such breweries north of the Straits. The author presents
each brewery with a 2 or 3-page essay that includes a short
history, a conversation with the owner, presents a feel of the
bar, and describes the brewery's signature beers. Each entry
includes a photograph, address, phone number, and both the
website and Facebook addresses. What makes the book totally
unique are the appendices. There is a list of breweries and
brewpubs by location. Following that is a listing of each
brewery with its production by number of barrels, its flagship
beers are named, followed by a core list of all beers produced,
and its distribution area. Next is a several-page essay on how
beer is brewed. There is yet another appendix on a guide to beer
styles and which U.P. breweries offer which styles. There is
also a glossary of brewing terms and an annotated list of books
about beer. It made me thirsty reading the book." -- <strong>Tom
