The Land of Ale and Gloom: Discovering the Pacific Northwest concerns the summer of 2016, which the author spent traveling the region in the looming shadow of a Trump presidency, having come to the somewhat blue realization that there perhaps remained just one thing in this world with the power to bring him true happiness: craft beer. And while there’s no better place for a beer enthusiast than Oregon and Washington State, a philosophical guide seemed necessary—hence, Robert Burton’s The Anatomy of Melancholy, an encyclopedic Renaissance-era opus which advises the melancholic patient to treat his affliction with a few cold brews.

Along with these elements, The Land of Ale and Gloom incorporates the fascinating history and vibrant literature of the Northwest into a comic yet insightful exploration of the region.

Praise for Phillip Hurst

The wisdom in Phillip Hurst’s Land of Ale and Gloom is both profound and accessible. Like an elite brewmeister, he concocts a remarkably refreshing balance that is at once droll and stimulating—with an aftertaste of brilliance. This is a remarkable nonfiction tour of the Pacific Northwest, courtesy of the author himself in tandem with Robert Burton's famous tome, The Anatomy of Melancholy.
