I guess I am one more sucker who thought he was going to find out some useful information regarding starting a small brewery but chose to ignore the lower case section of the book's title.

Calagione’s book is light and playful, with a focus on creativity and marketing. Hindy’s book was as much about starting a brewery as creating and selling a business plan to investors. I found Beer School to be a lot more practical for the budding entrepreneur.BarlowBrewinghttp://www.barlowbrewing.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066877917844499643.post-23811061230578843732009-05-03T19:31:00.000-04:002009-05-03T19:31:00.000-04:00I'm definitely going to put this on the "to read" ...I'm definitely going to put this on the "to read" list, along with Beer School.

I think it´s engaging and well written. Completely agree with your review.Nicolinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06589880337515125719noreply@blogger.com
