So You Want to Be a Beer Expert?

Overview

A crash course in beer from a renowned expert that guides readers to their own conclusions regarding the best beers

The number and variety of excellent beers in general circulation has never been greater, both in the pub (where guest ales and beer festivals are regular features) and in the supermarket. This book presents a crash course in beer appreciation, with short cuts to an understanding of the beer styles of the world, beer flavors, how beer is made, the ingredients, the best pubs and bars, and more. The novelty of this book—and its key point of difference with other beer titles—is that it doesn't just relate the facts but helps readers reach conclusions for themselves. Interactive tastings show readers, through their own taste-buds, what beer is all about. The book covers all the basics of beer knowledge but then points readers eager  for a greater understanding toward places to visit, people to talk to and in-depth books to read.
