See all formats and editions

It’s closing time at the brewery. While the moon rises, the brewery crew—including three little otters (in charge of the water), a wort hog, and a hops wildebeest—introduce us to the brewing equipment, ingredients, and styles of beer. Join this fanciful crew as they close down for the evening and say goodnight to the brew kettle, barley and yeast, hops and mash, saison, porter, IPA, and much more.

Befuddled about beer ingredients? Puzzled about the brew process? Can’t remember the difference between an ale and a lager? Don’t miss the brew infographics that follow the story!

This humorous parody of a children's literature classic is a "pitcher book" for grown-ups. It's a besotted bedtime story for beer lovers everywhere!

Editorial Reviews

Review

This is the perfect nightcap.”
Pete Limbach, Carnival Technician, New Belgium Brewing Company

"This book is cute as hell. And it's about beer. Win win."
Paste magazine

"In the music world, a cover song is only worth recording if it can top the original. Goodnight Brew brings that same attitude to the classic children’s book. After reading you’ll wonder why anybody ever bothered with that moon business. The perfect gift for the baby-toting beer geek."
Patrick Dawson, author of Vintage Beer

"More than just a cute parody, Goodnight Brew shines with spectacular illustrations and captivating storytelling. The added tutorial is a very nice touch, giving the reader a wonderful introduction to the brewing process. It should be on the bookshelf of all craft beer loving parents."
Michael Bergman, Midwest MicroBrews

"A perfect piece of joy and beer-musement!"
Michael Bussmann, Social Networking Nerd, New Belgium Brewing Company

"Goodnight Brew is a curious hybridlike a smoked IPA or stout brewed with strawberriesthat entertains and informs. With the wit and authority you'd expect from a bedtime story about beer, this crazy book leaves you dreaming of hops and barley while inspiring you to get to the nearest brewery and thank the creators for their hard work."
Will Siss, beer columnist and blogger at beersnobwrites.com

"You made me smile This is an interesting and entertaining introduction to the process of craft brewing and beer styles that any novice could enjoy and take away a basic understanding of the craft behind the beer."
Banjo Bandolas, Realbeer.com & Probrewer.com

"This book easily brings out a smile and the desire to meet a hops wildebeest in his natural brewery habitat."
John Holl, editor of All About Beer Magazine and author of The American Craft Beer Cookbook.

If you live in Fort Collins, Colorado, you know and love Allie Ogg’s artwork. This book shares this with the rest of the craft beer community. Enjoy our treasure!”
Lauren Woods Salazar, Wood Cellar Manager & Blender, New Belgium Brewing Company

"This book bridges my childhood and my love for beer."
Jeff Eaton, Assistant Brewer, CB Potts Brewery

"Beer and brewing basics wrapped in a fun, rhyming narrative."
Steve Mastny, co-host of BeerDownload and President of the Chicago Beer Society

"Goodnight Brew is not only entertaining but also informative!"
Jared Lydon, Brewer, Equinox Brewing

"Finally, a way to enjoy beer WITH my kids!"
Jesse Suchmann, Creative Director in NYC

"Not only a whimsical and humorous romp of a bedtime tale, but in the end you learn some important life lessons (about home brewing)."
Vin, Bierbattered.com

"Relive your childhood with the characters of Goodnight Brew on their brewing adventures."
D.J. Paul, Brewpublic.com

K&C Honestly Reviewing

Well illustrated and clean humor for the brewmaster In your life.

Great gift for the "brew master" who has everything! Great colorful pictures. While the story will not entertain children who can understand a book, if you rock the baby to sleep and read this you do not have to worry about profanity or vulgar language. This is a clear book that uses wordplay on beer brewing.

It's cute and accurate. Worked in a brewery & will pass the book on to a beer-loving friend w/ a baby.

This is a GREAT gift for any beer loving family with young kids! The whole book is super kid friendly and simple with great pictures. Then after it says good night beer lovers everywhere there are a couple pages of actual beer making facts and procedures. So you can read it to put your kid to bed and then learn about beer while you wait for them to be fully asleep. :-D

I got this as a Christmas present for my brother (he loves beer a lot). I ended up doing story telling time at my parents house over dinner before shipping it to my brother. It was very cute and funny. I especially loved the colors and the little details that they took special care with (for ages 21+ stickers, etc.) It was fairly educational too lol. I learned more about beer than I had ever known before. I would definitely recommend this to anyone (legal enough to drink) for giggles!

Kudos to Oceanak and Ogg!

Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2014

Just as the cover of “Goodnight Brew” promises, it’s “a parody for beer people.” As such, it’s a clever and cute take off on “Goodnight Moon” that will cause anyone with a little brewing knowledge to laugh. The drawings are colorful and appealing. I especially liked the “whirling wort hog.” Since the book has only been out a couple of months, I encourage author Karla Oceanak and illustrator Alli Ogg to work out a few glitches in the electronic version. One example is the very nice drawing under “Goodnight beer lovers everywhere.” The illustration explains the beer-making process in a simple, accurate way, but making it large enough to read on an iPad results in fuzzy resolution and the drawing has to be viewed in segments. On the “Beer Types & Styles” page, the columns run over onto the next page, but reformatting for digital devices is easy enough.

What impresses me most is that I see this little book as a reflection of how far the brewing culture in the United States has evolved. Thirty years ago, very few people would have understood “Goodnight Brew”. With so many types of brewers today, there’s a whole niche of potential readers—many with young children who see Dad or Mom with buckets and malted barley, etc. Kudos to Oceanak and Ogg!

Great picture book for dads who brew!

Love it! Best for a father who brews or anyone who loves brewing beer or breweries that would also know the book Goodnight Moon. Reminds me of my childhood but if you don't have small kids now you might not get the referenced. In that case it's still cute and silly but it's a picture book after all.

My nephew (and his wife) recently had their first child and both appreciate quality beers. So this was a fun book to share along with the classic version of Goodnight Moon.

I was suprisef at the limited content the book had to offer. The book is beautiful, but if your looking to read on the subject of beer and actually learn something, you need to look elsewhere.
