David J. Reimer, Sr., of Leesport, will have a book signing at Moravian Book Shop, Bethlehem, on Saturday, Nov. 21 from 1 to 5 p.m. The book signing is part of the Holiday Cocktail Trail. Reimer’s book, Craft and Micro Distilleries in the U.S. and Canada: The Definitive Guide to Small Batch Artisanal Spirits, is the only guide dedicated to North American craft and micro distilleries.
Craft and Micro Distilleries in the U.S. and Canada is a comprehensive guide to small batch distilleries, perfect for fine spirits connoisseurs or novices pouring into the spirit world and for anyone who wants to find great spirits while traveling. It is also a valuable resource for anyone who wants to start their own craft or micro distillery.
SpiritReview.com’s Chris Carlsson describes the book as, “Well written, a great read, and a massive amount of interesting details on every distillery. No where will you find a more comprehensive yet accessible reference on this subject in one well laid out book.” Also, MicroLiquor.com calls this first guide to North American craft and micro distilleries a “must read”; DrinkUpNY.com calls it “an excellent guide to the interesting world of craft spirits”; and Drink Me Magazine calls it “the most comprehensive book cataloging the hundreds of craft distilleries.”
The fourth edition includes information on more than 580 craft and micro distilleries and more than 2,500 unique spirits from all 50 states and across Canada, hundreds of photos of bottles and labels and information including locations and hours, tours and tasting times, websites and social media, spirits, prices and distribution.
The book also includes a listing of spirit festivals, events and museums; a listing of distilling associations and guilds; an index by spirit type; and additional spirit information and resources.
The book is available at Moravian Book Shop, on Reimer’s website, Amazon, Barnes and Noble’s website and at craft and micro distilleries across the country.
Reimer has participated in many book signings and distillery events since the release of the first edition of the book. Recently he took part in Allentown’s first Cocktail Week; he has also been a featured celebrity author at Chicago’s Indy Spirits Expo, the 10th anniversary of Tales of the Cocktail, Spirit Journal’s Ultimate Blast and NYC’s Indy Spirits Expo.
