description: You want a little adventure in your life. And why not? With nearly 5,000 breweries (and counting) and nearly 1,000 artisanal distillers in the United States, there are more choices than ever on tap and behind the bar. So many, that you’re a little bit intimidated.But throughout the course of a year you can learn to impress and earn respect by enhancing your bar smarts and becoming a pub savant with The Year of Drinking Adventurously, a guide to getting out of your beverage comfort zone once a week for a year. Each of the fifty-two chapters features the story behind a unique beer, spirit, or cocktail, designed to broaden your drinking horizons. Some correspond with specific seasons or holidays, encouraging you to forget the million-dollar-marketing-supported “conventional wisdom” and drink against the grain. It’s Cinco de Mayo? There’s much more to the celebration than Corona and shots of cheap tequila. St. Patrick’s Day? Do you really want to be the 700th person of the evening to order a Guinness or a Jameson on the rocks?The Year of Drinking Adventurously takes the social cross drinker on a journey into the exciting and unknown―one week at a time.
