 "Beer cocktails are refreshing and ideal for summer, and they're also super-trendy lately, which makes this new book doubly useful. Portland bartender Jacob Grier tracked down dozens of recipes, including vintage and old-timey sudsy concoctions as well as contemporary creations from a range of top modern mixologists around the country. It's an astoundingly deep collection of great recipes." -- Playboy

"Portland bartender Jacob Grier shines a light on beer cocktails in this attractive guide. Sure, there's a great Michelada recipe, but what makes the book outstanding is how Grier digs so much deeper into the subject, revealing historic recipes for simple concoctions from the 1800s like Ale Punch and the funny-named Shandygaff (a mixture of orange brandy, lemon juice, English ale, and ginger beer)." -- Serious Eats

"Smartly written with both the novice and the more seasoned cocktail aficionado in mind, Cocktails on Tap is wonderfully accessible and more importantly fun." -- American Craft Beer
