TBR Interview - Maureen Ogle, Author of Ambitious Brew

Tags: [edit]

OK… By now, most beer people have heard about Maureen’s book, Ambitious Brew. It was released in Hardback last year…. But for the beer noobs… You need to rush out and find a copy of the newly released paperback version.

Groucho and CHUD talk to Maureen about what she had to endure to make this book, some of the lumps that come from righteous craft beer snobs and Budweiser bashers.

We are not here to take a side, but this book is a testament to the American spirit of enterprise and innovation. You can learn a lot from the early pioneers of brewing… And learn more about the boom of the Craft Brewing industry.

Get more info on Maureen and read her (very beer inspired) blog at www.maureenogle.com

Also, email groucho (Use the contact page if you cannot figure out how) to enter in a contest to win an autographed copy of this book.
