Happy birthday.
Received this in my Birthday Box - WooHoo. This is so up my alley. This is not going to the shelf, it is going directly to my current TBR pile.
A fellow Bookcrosser gave me this book as we're both craft beer fans. The author did a good job with the descriptions for beer styles, the brewing process, and brewing terms. The plot and characters were too unbelievable for me but I stuck with it because of the whole brewing scene. But really [SPOILER ALERT] the location of the murder victim gave me the creeps.
