BOOK: “Beyond The Pale” The Story Of Sierra Nevada Arrives In Oct

Ken Grossman, Founder of Sierra Nevada Brewing Co, is busy brewing beer and building breweries.  What you might not know, is that he has a book coming out soon too. Beyond The Pale will be released on October 16, 2012.

Beyond the Pale chronicles Ken Grossman’s journey from hobbyist homebrewer to owner of Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., one of the most successful craft breweries in the United States. From youthful adventures to pioneering craft brewer, Ken Grossman shares the trials and tribulations of building a brewery that produces more than 800,000 barrels of beer a year while maintaining its commitment to using the finest ingredients available. Since Grossman founded Sierra Nevada in 1980, part of a growing beer revolution in America, critics have proclaimed his beer to be “among the best brewed anywhere in the world.”

Beyond The Pale will be available in both Kindle and hardback editions.  Pre-order now, and it will set up back a mere $16 or less.  [Amazon]
