Our first review! From Yankee Brew News, December/January 2016/17 Volume 27, Number 6:
“Those who have attended cask ale events may not realize the efforts that are put into staging such an event. In this short and self-published technical book, Randy Baril (NERAX and May Day Cask Fest) shares his expertise in droves, opening the reader’s eyes to the many tasks that are involved. Dense and thorough, the books starts with basics, and moves quickly to the preparation and serving of casks from just a single cask to a more complicated festival. An interesting section on dry hopping and spicing includes a large table listing the aromatic qualities of various hops.”
