The same could be said for this book. Equal parts memoir, narrative, and business story--with liberal dashes of pop culture and local color--this honest yet hilarious account of a one-of-a-kind, made-in-America journey just happens to culminate with the success of one of the nation's most popular craft beer brands. In twenty years, Lagunitas has grown from a shoestring operation to be the fifth largest--and the fastest growing--craft brewer in the United States. First published in a limited edition two years ago by a tiny California press, \u003ci\u003eSo You Want to Start a Brewery? \u003c\/i\u003ehas here been revised and updated to include Lagunitas's establishment of a new brewery in Chicago, set to open in 2014. \u003ci\u003eSo You Want to Start a Brewery?\u003c\/i\u003e is unglamorous and full of entertaining digressions, but it's never afraid to mess with the nuts and bolts. This is a must-read for all who have considered starting their own business--or have sweated blood working to get one on its feet. Told in the vibrant voice of Tony Magee--the man closest to the process--this blow-by-blow chronicle will introduce beer drinkers and entrepreneurs to the reality of starting a craft brewery from the ground up. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tony Magee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1556525621\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781556525629\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Chicago Review Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2014 pg. 105","brand":"Tony Magee","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994274922751,"sku":"9781556525629","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c51701c9-9607-490a-b0b0-eea0b807bd8e.jpg?v=1683329172","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/so-you-want-to-start-tony-magee-9781556525629","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
