The Lager Queen of Minnesota by J. Ryan Stradal

My Rating: 3.7


When their father leaves their shared inheritance entirely to Helen, her sister Edith struggles to make a living. So she can't help wondering what her life would have been like with even a portion of the farm money her sister kept for herself. While Helen builds a successful craft brewery, Helen struggles with baking pies and taking a variety of jobs.

This is a heartwarming, Midwestern story of the lives of the two sisters as well as brewing beer. The humor was cute and at the heart of it all, was the message of family. The accents on the audio were well done but got a bit old after a while.

  1. Hmm, I really enjoyed Kitchens of the Great Midwest and was looking forward to this book. Do you think it would be more enjoyable if I read vs the adudio? Thanks for the review!

    1. Yes, I am guessing it would be better if you read it. The audio was 'cute' at first and captured the accents but it wasn't long till they seemed really overdone. I am betting in the book it would have a better feel to it. xoxo
