In 1975, there was one craft brewery in the United States; today, there are more than 2,300. Powered by millions of savvy, devoted consumers and raking in hundreds of millions annually for producers and retailers, the American craft beer movement has changed the brewing industry and the international reputation of American beer. It has upended the Big Beer giants that once seemed untouchable and forever altered the culinary habits of not only millions of Americans but millions more worldwide.
This delicious story of plucky triumph has never been chronicled in one volume--until now.
Based on thorough research as well as interviews with all of the most influential names in craft brewing since the 1960s, The Audacity of Hops brims with charming, remarkable tales, which together weave a very American business story, one of formidable odds and refreshing success.
The Audacity of Hops will be the holiday and birthday gift for every craft-beer lover--indeed, for anyone who loves fine food and drink, and the people behind them. Entertaining and accessible, this book is the first of its kind: the definitive, highly praised history of the other American revolution.

Everyone who cares about good beer owes Tom Acitelli a huge thanks: his history of American craft beer is lively, substantive, and thoughtful.

Maureen Ogle, author of Ambitious Brew: The Story of American Beer

[Tom Acitelli]s thorough research into the craft beer revolution tells a great story and shows how a ragtag yet purposeful group of passionate individuals can build an industry. He did an amazing job capturing the characters, improbable tales, and astounding passion that make up the craft brewing community.

Ken Grossman, founder, Sierra Nevada Brewing Company

The Audacity of Hops chronicles the rich history of Americas craft brewing revolution with deft portraits of the resourceful pioneers, the innovative brewers, and the intrepid entrepreneurs who are changing the way the world thinks about beer.

Steve Hindy, cofounder of Brooklyn Brewery and coauthor of Beer School

Toms narrative threads moments of insider anecdote with a historians vision of what makes growing, outsider movements so dynamic, meaningful, and, in our case, delicious. An important achievement.

Jeremy Cowan, author of Craft Beer Bar Mitzvah and proprietor of Shmaltz Brewing

This book is a delightful read, painstakingly researched, often humorous, and filled with stories that breathe life into the birth of our industry.
