This book does exactly what it says on the cover. A guide to GOOD beer - and it's also a guide to the BAD beer so you're not left wondering. Brewers, individual beers, how beer is made, and Belgian beer styles are all covered in this book and there's a great province-by-province section on the best beer bars and restaurants to visit. Maps and good photographs, not only of the beer, give a real flavour of the country as does the guide to food in the early part of the book. Towards the end, there's a guide to the best take-home beer shops in Belgium, and places to buy Belgian beer in Britain, which is useful for those of us who can't travel all that often. There are other sections, about travelling to Belgium, accommodation and getting around, the culture(s) and a brief history of Belgium and articles on various aspects of craft brewing, by the brewers themselves. A great "dip-into" book, very entertaining but which also manages to impart a lot of knowledge and information without being pompous, snobbish or obscure. I'd recommend it to any real ale fan.

An excellent book, full of information, incite and detailed reviews. The book is pretty much split in two, first half on places to visit, drink and buy Belgium beer with the second half on information and reviews of the Belgium beer, but is has so much more than that. I bought this book a few weeks before going off to Brussels on a short trip, not just did in contain all the info on beer I needed but also a lot of great tips and information on visiting Belgium. I found myself using it more than my travel guide! This book is simply fabulous and a worthy addition too all beers lovers libraries.

I found the recently updated guide far more comprehensive and easy to use then the 2 earlier versions I own. I can only recommend this to the casual drinker and hardened conisoir alike.

expansive detail of beer history/syles/breweries etc of Belgium. went on holiday to Antwerp, Bruges and Brussels with friends and all of the pubs recommended in the guide were fantastic. I'd recommend this guide as essential to take on any holiday to Belgium as well as 100 Belgian beers to try before you die by Tim Webb (we tried 27 of them in 5 days!)

Good Beer Guide Belgium
My son loved the book and I would buy a lot more if your exchange rate with AUD were in line with the actual exchange rate. I feel ripped off when you inflate the exchange rate.
