Travels with Barley The Quest for the Perfect Beer Joint Paperback by Ken Wells

Travels with Barley : The Quest for the Perfect Beer Joint by Ken Wells, Paperback Pulitzer Prize finalist and former "Wall Street Journal" writer Ken Wells set out on America's mighty River of Beer (aka the Mississippi) in a quest for his own Oz: the mythical Perfect Beer Joint. Along the way he samples great beer with the Heartland's raconteurs, probes Elvis's beer-drinking habits, drops in on brewers and hopheads, tours the World's Largest Six-Pack and a bar once owned by Al Capone, and visits an Extreme Beer Maker whose dream is 50-proof brew. This is a vision of America that readers have never seen before-through the frosty prism of a beer glass.
