From the author of How to Fail: The Self-Hurt Guide and The Cheat Sheet comes this celebration of the wild, alcohol-infused stories of yesterday. There's stories of love, friendship, and adventure lovingly marinated in our favorite fermented and distilled treats. It's a lens to a not-too-distant past where drinking was the cause of and answer to all of life's problems. It's a reminder that while still waters run deep, strong waters stoke the best times.
Aaron Goldfarb is a journalist and the author of 12 books, his most recent of which was Dusty Booze: In Search of Vintage Spirit. He is generally regarded as one of the top drinks writers in the country.
Clever, Crass, mostly dead-on and always fun. Goldfarb's prose is perfect for a beer geek like me. I recommend to anyone who is trying to enjoy alcohol a little more than just in half-barrel Keystone Light Keg Form.
