"Oregon Breweries" is a straight-ahead guide with listings on each and every brewery in the state of Oregon, from local beer writer Brian Yaeger... It's full of detailed information about Oregon's beer industry. Who makes it, where to get it, and what it tastes like and everything in between. Yaeger deserves kudos for putting all these element in accessible terms, relating them to molasses and brown sugar (Arch Rock's State of Jefferson Porter), for example, or Juicy Fruit (Pints' Tripel Whammy)...
The real draw of "Oregon Breweries," however, is that by providing so much background on the breweries, Yaeger offers a fascinating view of the state of Oregon itself."

"Yaeger has crafted what almost certainly is the most thorough guide to Oregon breweries ever published. In this series he details 190 breweries and brewpubs across the state of Oregon, the leading state in the brewery industry, and yes, he visited nearly all of them with brief, but well-written narratives that tell the story of each operation and it's beers and ales. His profiles reveal many nuggets of knowledge to be savored by even the most well-versed Oregon hop head, and accompany plenty of practical information for planning a visit to any of the sites: beers brewed, visiting/tasting hours, their food options, and in most cases an author's pick for a must-taste standout beer in the joint or area."
