Reviews
"Delaware Beer is an entertaining, informative read for craft beer fans, but it's also an important chronicle of an emerging industry. It offers a rare look into the inner workings of numerous competitors (which, admirably, seem to regard themselves more as independent partners) as they evolve from shaky start-ups into stable, young companies. [...] Tony Russo has performed a vital, valuable task in documenting the local movement's early years."Peninsula Roots
"Tony Russo has written a worthy addition to the bookshelf of anyone interested in the journey beer brewers took in the state of Delaware to get the beer scene where it currently resides today."The Dogs of Beer
