Mikel B. Classen and Jon C. Stott, award-winning authors of travel books, provide expert guidance for beer aficionados and tourists to visit the 29 unique craft breweries and brewpubs of Michigan's Upper Peninsula in Yooper Ale Trails.
The tours to breweries are organized geographically from the east UP to the west side into eight picturesque ale trails. Each brewery or brewpub has its own story. Classen and Stott have captured the essence of the beer scene in the UP since the mid-1990s. Classen suggests planning six months for an ale trail trip.
"The book itself is a little bit of a roadbook too, you get a good breakdown of beers we found there," Classen said.
Listen to the episode to win a signed hardcover copy of Yooper Ale Trails.

Nancy Besonen's "Off The Hook," published in 2023, is a collection of humor columns she successfully slipped by her editor over a 30-year reporting career for L'Anse Sentinel.
However, there were still a few very silly things left unsaid. Shamelessly borrowing from her original recipe, she unleashed her second and final installment, "Off The Hook Too!," in 2024, rounding out what she likes to call "The Compleat Works of Nancy Besonen." (take that, William Shakespeare!)
