About BC Books Online
BC Books Online was created for anyone interested in BC-published books, and with librarians especially in mind. We'd like to make it easy for library staff to learn about books from BC publishers - both new releases and backlist titles - so you can inform your patrons and keep your collections up to date.
Our site features print books and ebooks - both new releases and backlist titles - all of which are available to order through regular trade channels. Browse our subject categories to find books of interest or create and export lists by category to cross-reference with your library's current collection.
A quick tip: When reviewing the "Browse by Category" listings, please note that these are based on standardized BISAC Subject Codes supplied by the books' publishers. You will find additional selections, grouped by theme or region, in our "BC Reading Lists."
Description
Winner of the Gourmand Award for Best Beer Book in Canada.
A thirst-quenching guide to British Columbia's craft brewers and their beers from the province's favourite beer writer.
Canada's microbrewing movement began in B.C. with the founding of Horseshoe Bay Brewing in 1982. Three decades later, the province is home to more than fifty breweries, including a dozen brewpubs. Beer tourists are coming in droves, and private liquor stores are selling exclusive bottles of beer at prices previously reserved only for fine wine.
With profiles of each of the province's craft breweries, as well as maps, tasting tours, and an insider's look at the people behind the kegs and casks, Craft Beer Revolution is the definitive guide to British Columbia’s booming craft beer scene.

Editorial Reviews
"In the long run this is the sort of book that will be earmarked, flagged, and scribbled on by the ever-growing craft beer newbie contingent."
— Westender
"Craft Beer Revolution distils six years of drinking and thinking into a tidy little volume that reviews the local history of craft brewing, profiles its most influential taste makers and brewers, and reviews the product and often the ambience of just about every brewery, brew pub and taphouse in B.C."
— Vancouver Sun
