Another intoxicating mystery featuring brew pub owner Maxine "Max" O'Hara-from the author of To Brew or Not to Brew . BEER TODAY, GONE TOMORROW... Brew pub owner Maxine "Max" O'Hara and her chef/boyfriend Jake Lambert are excited to be participating in the Three Rivers Brews and Burgers Festival. Max hopes to win the coveted Golden Stein for best craft beer-but even if she doesn't, the festival will be great publicity for her Allegheny Brew House. Or will it? When notoriously nasty food and beverage critic Reginald Mobley is drafted as a last-minute replacement judge, Max dreads a punishing review. Her fears are confirmed when Mobley literally spits out her beer, but things get even worse when the cranky critic drops dead right after trying one of Jake's burgers. Now an ambitious new police detective is determined to pin Mobley's murder on Max and Jake, who must pore over the clues to protect their freedom and reputations-and to find the self-appointed judge, jury, and executioner.
