When Tyler King, a beer aficionado, finds himself transported to the magical land of Hagop, he discovers a world filled with cunning dwarves, enigmatic gnomes, brutish ogres, and beautiful women. It seems like the perfect place, until he discovers the real nobody in this magical world knows how to brew a decent beer.

But Tyler knows how to make great beer.

He is going to create an empire of barley, but doing so means a life of adventure, danger, and bitter rivalries. Success will be an epic challenge, but the rewards will be fame, fortune, and the love of the beautiful women of Hagop and-- once they taste his beer-- of the whole realm, too.
