Fifty Must-Try Craft Beers of Ohio

by Rick Armon

Every craft beer has a story, and part of the fun is learning where the liquid gold in your glass comes from. In Fifty Must-Try Craft Beers of Ohio, veteran beer writer Rick Armon picks the can’t-miss brews in a roundup that will handily guide everyone from the newest beer aficionado to those with the most seasoned palates. Some are crowd pleasers, some are award winners, some are just plain unusual—the knockout beers included here are a tiny sample of what Ohio has to offer. In the midst of the ongoing nationwide renaissance in local beer culture, Ohio has become a major center for the creation of quality craft brews, and Armon goes behind the scenes to figure out what accounts for the state’s beer alchemy. He asked the brewers themselves about the great idea or the happy accident that made each beer what it is. The book includes brewer profiles, quintessentially Ohio food pairings (sauerkraut balls and Cincinnati chili!), and more.

So many beers, so little time...

I picked this book up at my local library while browsing and trying to kill time. I thought it would be interesting since I like craft beers. I'm not a beer snob but I won't drink a domestic if I have to. This book made me proud of my state. We have so many things to offer and so much to do here. I was unaware of all the breweries in northeast Ohio alone. This book was an excellent educational source if you'd like to learn more about craft beer. I learned so much and finally put names and words associated with beers that I had no clue about previously together. After reading all of the descriptions I found what types of beers I like and the types that I may want to try eventually. Along with the craft beers featured, the book highlighted the top 10 breweries, some of the best brewers and the top ten foods to eat while drinking some of the beers that were listed. This book was amazing and I recommend it highly to those trying to learn about craft beer.

Drink beer made in Ohio! I will start chipping away at the beer/venue suggestions this book offers in the upcoming year. This book will be my road map along the way. 5*
