The Lager Queen of Minnesota by J. Ryan Stradal
eBook | eAudiobook | Audiobook | Large Print
A novel of family, Midwestern values, hard work, fate and the secrets of making a world-class beer, from the bestselling author of Kitchens of the Great Midwest. Two sisters, one farm. A family is split when their father leaves their shared inheritance entirely to Helen, his younger daughter. Despite baking award-winning pies at the local nursing home, her older sister, Edith, struggles to make what most people would call a living. So she can't help wondering what her life would have been like with even a portion of the farm money her sister kept for herself. With the proceeds from the farm, Helen builds one of the most successful light breweries in the country, and makes their company motto ubiquitous: "Drink lots. It's Blotz." Where Edith has a heart as big as Minnesota, Helen's is as rigid as a steel keg. Yet one day, Helen will find she needs some help herself, and she could find a potential savior close to home... if it's not too late.
Patron Saints Brewery is a West Toledo nano-brewery crafting a wide variety of beer styles. The brewery is a small, 2 man operation founded after countless late nights home brewing in the driveway.
Books on Tap is presented in partnership by Toledo Lucas County Public Library, Destination Toledo, 419 Ale Trail, and host breweries.
