Product Description
From Belgian fruit beers to hoppy cask ales, small-production microbrews to Czech Republic lagers, this is a personal and comprehensive portfolio of international beers compiled by one of the world's leading beer writers. In this unique and beautifully illustrated collection, he has distilled decades of beer knowledge into an entertaining and indispensable guide to the ales that no beer lover should miss. The book divides beers by type, including bitters, best bitters, pilsners, brown and mild ales, pale ales, extra strong beers and bitters, old ales and barley wines, golden ales, porters and stouts, alt and amber ales, fruit beers, and beires de garde, each comprising an alphabetical listing of the beers. Many of the entries are fully illustrated, and each beer comes complete with a box panel for adding your own tasting notes. Information on the country of origin, beer strength, brewery, and a detailed description of the beer and its history are also given.

If you drink REAL beer...,
By
This review is from: 300 Beers to Try Before You Die (Paperback)
Like many people I have spent years willingly handing over good money for mass produced carbonated lager, often with no character or taste at all. More recently however, I have been trying more 'real' beer - both in pubs and by the bottle. I have come to love the taste and individuality of real ales, bitters, IPAs, Porters etc. The problem for me was where do you start? And, how do you know which of the literally hundreds of British beers will suit your tastes?This book has proved to be the solution to that problem for me. I picked it up after a beer festival where one of my local brewers was proudly showing off his entry and thoroughly recommended it is too. The book is a veritable treasure trove of facts about these 300 beers which Protz has selected as his personal favourites. The beers are grouped into styles (of which there are many!) with each entry receiving a full page write-up. As well as a little background about the brewer and the qualities of the beer itself, there are helpful details on where to find the beer. Many of the beers are widely available in pubs or bottled in supermarkets whilst others from smaller brewers are regionally limited and a few downright scarce! If you are happy with the standard chain-pub fizzy largers or the smoothflow branded bitters then this book is unlikley to hold your interest. However, if you are looking for more from your beer and have at least a passing interest in where it has come from, who made it and how, then this is a thoroughly recommended book! Cheers!!

More Than Just a Book About Beer,
By Mike The Magician "Mike" (Wiltshire, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 300 Beers to Try Before You Die (Paperback)
This book is pure genius (sorry). There are many encyclopaedic books on beer - I have several, and consult them now and then. 300 Beers is a different animal entirely. It throws down the gauntlet, and dares you to pick it up. It tells you what you already know - that there's good beer out there.
But then it goes further - it sets a challenge: Try these beers, tick the boxes, expand your horizons. Even if you're a lagerboy, seduced by the blandishments of huge advertising campaigns, there's still hope for you, and you'll find it in this book.

This review is from: 300 Beers to Try Before You Die (Paperback)
After reading this book i learned alot about all the different types of beers and the many proceses it goes through to make the perfect beer. There is a chapter even telling you how to taste and drink a beer so you get full potential of its taste. i would definatly reccomend this book.
