My Beer Year by Lucy Burningham

My Beer Year by Lucy Burningham

A love note to beer--appreciating the history, craftsmanship, and taste of craft beer, as told by a woman striving for beer-expert status.

As a journalist spurred by curiosity and thirst, Lucy Burningham made it her career to write about craft beer, traveling to hop farms, attending rare beer tasting parties, and visiting as many taprooms, breweries, and festivals as possible. With this as her introduction, Lucy decided to take her relationship with beer to the next level: to become a certified beer expert. As Lucy studies and sips her way to becoming a Certified Cicerone, she meets an eclectic cast of characters, including brewers, hop farmers, beer sommeliers, pub owners, and fanatical beer drinkers. Her journey into the world of beer is by turns educational, social, and personal--just as enjoying a good beer should be.

LUCY BURNINGHAM has written on craft beer and beer culture for publications such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Magazine, Bon Appétit, Saveur, Sunset, Epicurious.com, Men's Journal, Imbibe, and Lonely Planet's Washington, Oregon & the Pacific Northwest and Food Lover's Guide to the World. She has 15 years of experience as a journalist and a master's degree in nonfiction writing from Portland State University. Lucy has given talks and led beer tastings at food and drink events, as well as Powell's Books and other venues. She is a member of the Pink Boots Society, a professional association for women in the beer industry. She dreams of the day when her homebrew is good enough to share with her pals.
