Island craft beer time, open your copy of Hawai’i Beer by Paul Kan and see if you agree with my review…
There are some books that you want more of and this book is one of them. It is part history, part inventory of breweries and part recollections from key people. Now that second part can’t be changed since the number of breweries was what is was.
The history section, especially the early part was quite fascinating. First beer brewed was out at sea and probably not very good. I wanted more about ingredient logistics and laws that helped or hindered the industry.
The last part where industry people were given the mic, could have been expanded in my view top because it is where some interesting stories and new to me news was at. It might have been good to compare Hawai’i to other islands that brew as well.
The addition of photos was good as well, but again, would have liked more.
All to say that, great job, fun read, gimme more.
