In Long Beach, California, two groups of those homebrewers will soon open breweries and bring their beers to the world: a father-son team who grew close over making beer; and a rock star looking for the quiet(?) existence of brewery owner.


With the help of iconic brewers Ken Grossman, Charlie Papazian, Vinnie Cilurzo, Sam Calagione, Jim Koch, and others, the soul of craft beer is finally revealed.
