The authors provide a tasty overview of various types of craft beer, methods for brewing, and opportunities for taking your craft beer to market. In their Talking from the Tap! interviews, industry experts offer their takes on what they do, how they arrived in their current positions, why they do it, and where they are going in the industry."--Jacket flap
