Jonathan Cook has been brewing beer with homegrown ingredients since 1999, when he and his wife, Suzanne LePage toured New England brewpubs on their honeymoon. Cook runs the chefs garden at the historic Salem Cross Inn in West Brookfield, Massachusetts and also operates One Acre Farm, raising chickens, hops, and berries.
Craft beer drinkers rarely need an excuse to seek out the latest and greatest brews... One other book to consider is Beer Terrain by Jonathan Cook. The author interviews locally conscious New Englanders in the industry, from a pioneering artisan malt house in Hadley, Massachusetts to a contract brewer telling farmers that hell buy all the organic ingredients they can grow. -- Gary Dzen -- The Boston Globe The book is in no sense a dry, technical manual. Jonathan and Suzanne have enjoyed their odyssey and convey it from the wonderful People's Pint in Greenfield, Massachusetts to the Peak Organic Brewing Company in Portland, Maine. -- Richard Morchoe -- The Sturbridge Times Exceptionally well written, organized and presented,Beer Terrain: From Field to Glass is an impressively informed and informative descriptive overview of the domestic brewing movement throughout the northeast. Thoroughly 'reader friendly', Beer Terrain: From Field to Glass is enhanced with the inclusion of a section devoted to beer brewing Resources. Very highly recommended for personal reading lists and community library collections, Beer Terrain: From Field to Glass could well serve as a template for similar regional-based works related to micro-breweries and the growing do-it-yourself brewing industry. -- Midwest Book Review
