This was not a change your life book, or one that was just sooooo goood but I loved it. I loved the midwestern-ness about it, made me miss home. I also loved that this book was about women brewing beer. The beer world is a mans world and this was just an awesome representation of women having a passion to brew beer. Loved it!!
I think this book started just a bit slow for me, but it built up to such a fun finish it was worth it! I grew up in Minnesota so many of the places were places I'd been growing up. I don't like beer at all, but by the end of the book, I wanted to try one again.

What an amazing book! I learned so much about making beer and I didn't even know I was interested in that! But it is about so much more than that! I loved the strong women, and particularly the strong older women!

A thoroughly enjoyable story about sisters, beer, family, and how one decision can change everything.
