July 27th, Slow Food NYC Book Club – “The Audacity of Hops” by Tom Acitelli
July 27, 2013 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
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 also millions worldwide.
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.
Join us to meet author Tom Acitelli; he will read from his book and bring along some beer for a small tasting as well. The event is free and open to everyone.? We hope to see you there.
Location: Book Court – 163 Court Street (btn Dean & Pacific); Brooklyn
The event is free and includes a free beer provided by Sixpoint Brewery.
