The latest endeavor to spread the good word about beer has begun with the launch of a crowdfunding campaign for The Better Beer Book. The campaign aims to raise $38,000 in start-up capital for the editorial, design, printing and mailing of this one-of-a-kind book.
What makes this book so unique? First off, it will be the first ever “board book” about beer, utilizing a paper stock most often reserved for children’s books. However, the content will be decidedly adult, featuring over 60-pages spotlighting many of America’s most recognized commercial beer brands.
It will then take an in-depth look at the historic brewers behind these brands including Adolph Coors, David Yuengling and Eberhard Anheuser. The book will include an authentic glossary of terminology, and educational chapters such as “The Essence of Beer”, “Beer Production” and “Beer Distribution”.
The 10 x 6 inch book will feature a truly unique die-cut can-shaped contour, promising to make it an irresistible talking point at bars and parties. Beer enthusiasts will delight in fun trivia pull-out slider tabs, with fun facts on each beer. For example, one may learn of the notorious Keystone Light mascot, Keith Stone.
“This board book is a must-have guide for every beer enthusiast in America, and we have designed it in the shape of a beer can to inspire the love of beer in its readers,” said Jeffery C, author of The Better Beer Book. “This book has everything a beer lover needs to learn – from the countdown of the top premium beers in the U.S.A. to several types of popular beer.”
Backers of the book will also have their names published within the pages as a special recognition, forever cementing themselves in beer history.
The philosophy behind The Better Beer Book is one of unity and pride in the U.S.A. This fact is reiterated by the book’s cover – adorned with the American flag.
“We are experiencing some really tough, complex issues on our soil, and this nation needs things that will unite it,” says Jeffrey. “In my opinion, beer has always been adjacent to friends, family and love. This is not about macro vs. micro. It's about coming together. We invite you to join us in helping to unify this country through the majesty of beer.”
