Vintage Beer was awarded Best Beer Book of the Year by the North American Guild of Beer Writers this past Friday at a ceremony held during the Pints for Prostate’s Rare Beer Fest. This is a pretty incredible thing for me, not only because it was judged by by peers, but also because of the competition. There were so many amazing beer books released this year it’s kind of hard to fathom. I’m humbled by the win to say the least and so thankful to everyone that helped make this book a reality. Cheers.
