J. Ryan Stradal’s bestselling debut novel Kitchens of the Great Midwest was named a “Best Book of 2015” by NPR, was the Indie’s Choice winner for Adult Debut Book of the Year, and #1 Library Reads Pick upon publication. Stradal’s talents are again on full display in his second novel, where he turns his literary lens from foodie to beer culture with The Lager Queen of Minnesota, a sweeping story of two generations of female brewers who each reckon with a chance to repeat or resolve the mistakes that tore their family apart.
