So You Want to Start a Brewery?: The Lagunitas Story (2022)

This is an autobiography of an iconic figure in the craft brewery business of california and a story of success that built over a period of twenty years. Great beerif you like, thinking of brewing for a living etc. but also a good business book, and entertaining read and a book about triumph over hardships along the way. I have an inbterest in beer, brewing and business, so this book resonated with me: I even marked a few paragraphs as I read, but it also caught my attention to such an extent as to put aside all other reading until I finished it. Ultimately, it is a book about one man's passion for something - beer in this case - and how an early life of failures and inability to fit in a settle, turned into a kind of anarchic drive for success that was disciplined, focused and determined, albeit different. In the end, it is the difference that makes the difference. Great reading.
