I am reading a book by Ken Wells named "Travels with Barley: A Journey
Through Beer Culture In America" I thought others might be interested in the
book. The writer works at the Wall Street Journal, and travels more
north/south than east/west. He visits brew pubs along with neighborhood
style bars, although the second chapter is devoted to a bar on a beach in
Florida that seems more like a "spring break" kind of place.
