Once upon a time (right about now) there was a planet (how about this one?) whose inhabitants consumed 36 billion gallons of beer each year (it’s a fact, you can Google it). Affected, each in his or her own way, by all the bubbles, burps and foam, was a smart, wide-eyed, adventurous kindergartner named Gracie; her distracted mommy, her insensitive dad, her nonconformist uncle, and a magical, butt-kicking intruder from a world within our world. Populated by the aforementioned characters – and as charming as it may be subversive – B is for Beer involves readers, young and old, in a surprising, far-reaching investigation into the limits of reality, the transformative power of children, and, of course, the ultimate meaning of a tall, cold brewski.
