I asked Maureen to apply the " page 69 test" to her book. (When was the last time you saw forty-five apple pie commercials during a baseball game?) Yet I only had to skim Ambitious Brew's reviews and synopsis to realize I had no clue what the real story was. One would think we would know a lot more about this beverage that is as American as baseball and apple pie-actually, more American than apple pie. ![]() Ambitious Brew: The Story of American Beer is Maureen Ogle's new book about the history of American beer. ![]()
