Overview
What do you get when you cross a journalist and a banker? Abrewery, of course.
"A great city should have great beer. New York finally has,thanks to Brooklyn. Steve Hindy and Tom Potter provided it. BeerSchool explains how they did it: their mistakes as well as theirtriumphs. Steve writes with a journalist's skepticism-as though hehas forgotten that he is reporting on himself. Tom is even lessforgiving-he's a banker, after all. The inside story reads at timeslike a cautionary tale, but it is an account of a great and welcomeachievement."
—Michael Jackson, The Beer Hunter(r)

"Although we (thankfully!) never had to deal with the Mob, beingheld up at gunpoint, or having our beer and equipment ripped off,we definitely identified with the challenges faced in those earlydays of cobbling a brewery together. The revealing story Steve andTom tell about two partners entering a business out of passion, inan industry they knew little about, being seriouslyundercapitalized, with an overly naive business plan, and theirultimate success, is an inspiring tale."
—Ken Grossman, founder, Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.
