Portland in 1984 was far from the Beervana it would become. Most bars only served two kinds of beer-"regular" and "light"-breweries were closing one after another, and the homebrewing scene was essentially nonexistent. Enter two brothers with a dream: Kurt and Rob Widmer wanted to bring Portland's crafty can-do attitude to the beer industry. Weaving together dozens of in-depth interviews from big names across the brewing world, including the brothers themselves, Jeff Alworth (author of The Beer Bible and The Secrets of Master Brewers) brings to life the amazing true story of how two brothers defied the odds, changed the world of craft brewing forever, and showed the beer industry how to do things the Widmer Way.
