The Beer Bible: Second Edition - 9781523514311

Bottoms up, beer lovers! Announcing a second edition of the ultimate reader- and drinker-friendly guide to the world’s ales and beers: The Beer Bible, the book that has over 120,000 copies in print, that won an IACP Award, and that John Holl of All About Beer Magazine called “The only book you need to understand the world’s most popular beverage.” Now with 25% all-new material, The Beer Bible: Second Edition approaches its subject the same way beer lover’s do—by style, just like a pub menu. More than 100 are covered, from pilsners, porters and stouts to new and unusual fresh-hop ales, the recent return of lagers and helles beers, Japanese sakes and European farmhouse ales, reflecting how the American craft movement traveled overseas. It also covers the history, or how we got from gruel beer to Black IPA in 10,000 years. The alchemy—malts, phenols and esters. The curiosity: How to read a Belgian beer label. The tale of two Budweisers. And the pleasure, from how to taste like a brewer to the alchemy of pairing food and beer to beer tourism and drinking games. It’s like sitting in your favorite pub with a friend who happens to be a world-class expert on beer.
