Format:Hardcover
A great book to have lying around when you feel like cracking open a cold one after the working day or flicking through on a Sunday post-roast with one of the beers there in. Aside from the clear snappy descriptions of each beer, Ben McFarland has written informative and witty guides to pouring and storing, where to drink and what to eat with your tipple.
Handily, the book can be held open with one hand leaving the other free to sup while reading. There's a simple 12 icon guide that let's you get an immediate idea of what each beer is best for ("cool quencher", "connoisseur classic" etc...).
One to enjoy a regular dip in to rather than for storage on the shelf.

Bought this for my brother for Christmas but almost kept it for myself, even though I'm not much of a beer drinker. Fascinating look at the history and design of beers from around the world.
Format:Hardcover
Possibly the single most important guidebook that I rely on. From Canada to New Zealand to Thailand to Hungary it helps me get the most important decision of the day right. What am I going to have to drink?
