Set out with a true aficionado and affable guide to sample a
dizzying array of beverages made in America's heartland. Expedition
of Thirst maps routes that crisscross eastern Kansas and western
Missouri, with stops at some 150 breweries, wineries, and
distilleries along the way. Pete Dulin, a seasoned writer on the
subject, explains how and why these businesses produce beer, wine,
and spirits tied to regional terroir and represent the flavors of
the Midwest from the Flint Hills to the Ozarks. More than a travel
guide, his book is a cultural journal exploring the people, places,
and craft that make each destination distinct and noteworthy. Dulin
shares the stories of many of these brewers, winemakers, and
distillers in their own words. Expedition of Thirst captures the
character of the small business owners and makers and offers
insight about their craft. For good measure, Dulin delves into the
history, culture, and geography that have shaped these producers
and their practices, from the impact of Prohibition to the early
influence of immigrant winemakers and brewers, regional
agriculture, and politics. As informative as it is engaging-even
intoxicating-his Expedition is sure to work up readers' thirst to
travel and discover firsthand the singular regional pleasures so
richly described in these pages.
