Book: Travels With Barley

Nov 04, 2004 3 Replies

I am reading a book by Ken Wells named "Travels with Barley: A Journey Through Beer Culture In America" I thought others might be interested in the book. The writer works at the Wall Street Journal, and travels more north/south than east/west. He visits brew pubs along with neighborhood style bars, although the second chapter is devoted to a bar on a beach in Florida that seems more like a "spring break" kind of place.

I got a review copy of that, but no one seemed to be interested in a review. Too bad, I really liked the book!

It's an outstanding book, especially the chapters that mention me.

I didn't get the original posting in this thread, so perhaps the poster mentined this; but in case he didn't, readers not as ancient as I am might be amused to learn that the title is a play on the title of a book by John Steinbeck, written many years ago: Travels with Charley. Charley was Steinbeck's dog.
