Brief Description:
"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 won an IACP Award, and that John Holl of Beer Edge 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 lovers do-by style, just like a pub menu. More than 100 are covered, from pilsners, porters, and stouts to the new and newly popular incarnations of pale ales, the recent return of lagers and helles beers, and Japanese sakes and European farmhouse ales, reflecting how the American craft movement has traveled overseas and returned with some old tricks made new again. It also covers the history, or how we got from Gèobekli Tepe to hazy IPA in 12,000 years. You'll find the science and 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 art of pairing food and beer to the rise of beer tourism. It's like sitting in your favorite pub with a friend who happens to be a world-class expert on beer"--

"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.

"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
