The number of microbreweries in New England has grown by leaps and bounds since the first edition of this guide was published nearly twenty years. Now, Kate Cone has traveled the
length and breadth of the region to both research the breweries profiled in the first edition and the newcomers that have sprung up since, and of course to sample their products. The new volume
includes interviews with the brewers, anecdotes and stories about the breweries and brewpubs, as well as directions and information about their hours of operation. The breweries are not ranked,
as beer preference is so subjective, but Cone does share her personal experiences and opinions.
