Description
The Australian Beer Companion is an unrivalled book on Australia's thriving beer industry. Separated into state sections, the book covers more than 100 of author Willie Simpson's favourite Australian breweries. These include the big players such as Carlton and United Breweries (CUB), Cascade, Fourex (XXXX) and Coopers, as well as respected microbreweries like Mountain Goat, Little Creatures and Moo Brew. The book traces each brewery's history and their range of beers, and showcases their beer label through a feature called 'Behind the Label'. A glossary of beer styles and a wealth of photos make this book the ideal Father's Day gift.

Willie Simpson is one of Australia's premier beer writers, with regular contributions appearing in 'Good Living' (Sydney Morning Herald), 'Epicure' (The Age), The Bulletin and Gourmet Traveller Wine magazines. As well as writing and talking about beer, Willie is the proud owner of Seven Sheds Brewery, Meadery and Hops Garden, situated in his one-pub home town in north-west Tasmania. He commutes regularly to the Big Island to communicate his belief that life is too short to drink light beer.
