In 1980, a handful of \"microbrewery\" pioneers launched a revolution that would challenge the dominance of the national brands, Budweiser, Coors, and Miller, and change the way Americans think about, and drink, beer. Today, there are more than 2700 craft breweries in the United States, with another 1,500 in the works. Their influence is spreading to Europe's great brewing nations, and to countries all over the globe. In The Craft Beer Revolution , Steve Hindy, co-founder of Brooklyn Brewery, tells the inside story of how a band of homebrewers and microbrewers came together in one of America's great entrepreneurial triumphs. Citing hundreds of creative businesses like Samuel Adams, Deschutes Brewery, New Belgium, Dogfish Head, and Harpoon, he shows how their combined efforts have grabbed 10 percent of the US beer market—and how Budweiser, Miller, and Coors, all now owned by international conglomerates, are creating their own craft-style beers, the same way major food companies have acquired or created smaller organic labels to court credibility with a new generation of discerning eaters and drinkers. This is a timely and fascinating look at what America's new generation of entrepreneurs can learn from the intrepid pioneering brewers who are transforming the way Americans enjoy this wonderful, inexpensive, storied beverage: beer.","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9781137280121","publication_date":"20150526","publisher":"St. Martin's Press","slug":"the-craft-beer-revolution","subtitle":"How a Band of Microbrewers Is Transforming the World's Favorite Drink","title":"The Craft Beer Revolution"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"BUS070120","confidence_band":"medium","label":"The Food Business","score":0.7501,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"CKB002020","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Mid-Atlantic Cooking","score":0.7354,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"TEC012040","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Food Types & Ingredients","score":0.7309,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"BUS070120","confidence_band":"medium","label":"The Food Business","score":0.7501,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"CKB002020","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Mid-Atlantic Cooking","score":0.7354,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"TEC012040","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Food Types & Ingredients","score":0.7309,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"BUS025000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Starting a Business","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"BUS070120","confidence_band":"high","label":"The Food Business","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"The Food Business","score":0.7501,"slug":"the-food-business"},{"label":"Mid-Atlantic Cooking","score":0.7354,"slug":"mid-atlantic-cooking"},{"label":"Food Types & Ingredients","score":0.7309,"slug":"food-types-ingredients"}],"reader_fit":["Good for readers interested in the history and entrepreneurship of craft brewing"],"related_lists":[],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Dane Huckelbridge"],"book_id":"9780062389756","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780062389756.jpg?v=c2d41213def135a2","score":0.8037,"title":"The United States of Beer","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780062389756"},{"authors":["Anne Kelk Mager"],"book_id":"9780253221803","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780253221803.jpg?v=d8578d8bef1affdf","score":0.6906,"title":"Beer, Sociability, and Masculinity in South Africa","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780253221803"},{"authors":["Mark Pendergrast"],"book_id":"9781541699380","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781541699380.jpg?v=7a779faa7f74e7a7","score":0.632,"title":"Uncommon Grounds","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781541699380"}],"topics":[{"evidence_refs":["keyword:history of beer"],"label":"History","score":0.4536,"slug":"history"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:books about beer"],"label":"About","score":0.1333,"slug":"about"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:best entrepreneur books"],"label":"Best","score":0.1119,"slug":"best"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:beer business"],"label":"Business","score":0.0401,"slug":"business"}],"what_you_get":["Themes: Craft beer history, Brewing entrepreneurship, Competition with national beer brands.","Themes: History, Business.","Reading lane: The Food Business and Mid Atlantic Cooking."]},"llm_signals":{"confidence":0.94,"pacing":"unknown","reader_fit":["Readers interested in the history and entrepreneurship of craft brewing"],"themes":["Craft beer history","Brewing entrepreneurship","Competition with national beer brands"],"tropes":[]},"source_presence":{"amazon":true,"book_detail":true,"goodreads":true,"llm_signals":true,"similarity_seed":true},"stats":{"amazon_ratings_count":58,"goodreads_ratings_count":256,"goodreads_reviews_count":50,"quality_score":0.9015}}
