"M. B. Mooney was in the 2nd grade when his teacher, Mrs. Green, tried to keep him out of trouble by saying, ""Why don't you write me a story?"" He thought that was the best idea ever, and it's kept him out of trouble ever since. Mooney writes fiction and non-fiction and loves a good brew while he works, whether it's specialty coffee or craft beer, which is the basis for his writing podcast, Brew & Ink. He is the author of Beer Fest (Indiana University Press). He lives with his amazing wife, three creative kids, and a dog in Suwanee, Georgia.

"""Craft Beer is a journey for many. The journey can involve history, friendships, controversy, personalities, evolving tastes and business cycles. Craft Brew captures it all. M.B. Mooney takes us on his journey through craft beer, as well as the journey of many industry leaders. It's a fun read that covers the myriad facets of our craft!""—Bill Butcher, Port City Brewing Company ""Craft beer and brewing has always been in a state of transition, because that is what they are best at doing. M.B. Mooney portrays the journeys local, small and independent craft breweries have pursued to better the world of beer. Their world is a beer culture that we can all relate to as beer enthusiasts. I am reminded of the journey I travelled since my own ""beer conversion"" in 1970. If you aren't a convert yet, Craft Brew: An American Beer Revolution will help you personalize and visualize the inside perspective of what makes American craft breweries tick. It will further inspire your own passion for great beer in the spirit of independence and passion. Welcome to the community of craft brewers. Cheers to Craft Beer and M.B. Mooney""—Charlie Papazian, founder of the Great American Beer Festival, and author of The Complete Joy of Home Brewing"
