The most comprehensive guide to the world of beer, with everything you need to know bout what to drink, where, when and why. "The ultimate guide." -Sports Illustrated Imagine sitting in your favorite pub with a good friend who just happens to have won a TACP Award-a major culinary accolade-for writing the book about beer. Then imagine that he's been spending the years following the first edition exploring all the changes that continue to shape and evolve the brewing world. That's this book, the completely revised and updated bible on beer that covers everything: The History, or how we got from the birth of malting and national traditions to a hazy IPA in 12,000 years. The Variety: dozens of styles and hundreds of brews, along with recommended "Beers to Know." The Curiosity: If beer's your passion, you'll delight in learning what type of hops went into a favorite beer and where to go for beer tourism, as well as profiles of breweries from around the world. And lastly, The Pleasure. Because, ultimately, that's what it's all about. "A tome worthy of its name." -Food and Wine "Easily digestible for drinkers of all levels."-Imbibe "Pick up this book as a refresher or a gift, lest we forget that spreading beer education is just as important as advocating for good beer itself."-Beer Advocate
