Brewed Awakening

For anyone in and around Dayton, tomorrow night, February 7th, plan on stopping by Boston's Bistro between 7 - 10 PM.  Dayton native, Josh Bernstein, author of the book Brewed Awakening: Behind the Beers and Brewers Leading the World's Craft Brewing Revolution, will be holding a book signing and leading a Hopslam vertical tasting.

I picked up a copy of Josh's book around Christmas, but hadn't had a chance to start it, as my leisure reading has been non-existent lately.  Coincidentally enough, I had just moved the book to my bed stand the day before I learned Josh was going to be in town.  

I "wish listed" the book before I learned Josh, who currently lives in Brooklyn, NY, grew up just a few miles from me.  When I discovered the connection, I kind of felt the same way as when I learned my 11th grade teacher was the Mom of another Josh, this one being Josh Bousel, of the award winning BBQ team/blog, Meatwave.  Stranger still, Meatwave Josh also lives in New York.  It's a small world we live in.

Back to the beer.

Josh Bernstein's depth of beer knowledge runs long and deep.  I'm looking forward to meeting him, getting my book signed, and most importantly, enjoying a few Hopslams.  See you there.
