, Good BooksAlaska Gold: Liquid Gold in the Land of the Midnight Sun  by Bill Howell

American Craft Beer was recently invited up to Alaska for an “in-depth” tour of their fast-growing craft beer scene. Having never ventured up into “The Last Frontier” we found it all pretty amazing, but we had no idea as to how long and rich a brewing history the state actually had. That’s where Bill Howell’s wonderful addition to American Palate’s family of regional craft beer history books comes in…And without a doubt, Alaska Beer is one of the best in that series. Crisp and concise yet thoroughly entertaining, Howell ably capture’s the state’s fierce independence and how that spirit defines (and refines) the beer and the breweries in this spectacular state.

 

 

, Good BooksOff-Centered Leadership: The Dogfish Head Guide to Motivation, Collaboration and Smart Growthby Sam Calagione

Craft beer books have grown to the point that there now a multitude of sub-genres. In addition to the histories, the memoirs, the state-by-state travel guides, there’s a growing family of craft beer inspired business books and Dogfish Head’s Sam Calagione has just written a new one. In Off-Centered Leadership, Sam takes on the growing pains a company can experience as it evolves from an awkward startup, into a mid-sized sustainable company with hundreds of co-workers. And the leadership challenges (both internally and externally) he had to address at this level of success. Brimming with lessons on entrepreneurship and what happens when companies stop competing and start collaborating, Sam craftily explores “a road less taken,” in business.

As Informative as it is engaging Delaware Beer is a delicious addition to craft beer histories.
