breweries and brewpubs. The 170 locally-brewed lagers or ales included
in Yooper Ale Trails: Craft Breweries and Brewpubs of Michigan's Upper
Peninsula

are the perfect way to quench your thirst after visiting the many scenic
wonders of the U.P.  Tours are arranged geographically from the shores
of Lake Huron, across the north of the peninsula close to Lake Superior
and then east from the Wisconsin border to the shores of Lake Michigan.
Short essays on each brewery introduce you to the brewers, the places
their beers are served, and the flavors of the beers themselves. Stott
includes road maps for each ale trail and photographs of each
establishment, making the breweries easy to find

"Jon C. Stott has done a meticulous job of supplying the craft beer
lover with everything they would want to know about U.P. craft breweries
and brewpubs. As of the writing of this book, there are 29 such
breweries north of the Straits. The author presents each brewery with a
2 or 3-page essay that includes a short history, a conversation with the
owner, presents a feel of the bar, and describes the brewery's signature
beers. Each entry includes a photograph, address, phone number, and both
the website and Facebook addresses. What makes the book totally unique
are the appendices. There is a list of breweries and brewpubs by
location. Following that is a listing of each brewery with its
production by number of barrels, its flagship beers are named, followed
by a core list of all beers produced, and its distribution area. Next is
a several-page essay on how beer is brewed. There is yet another
appendix on a guide to beer styles and which U.P. breweries offer which
styles. There is also a glossary of brewing terms and an annotated list
of books about beer. It made me thirsty reading the book." -- *Tom
