Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Billed as "the ultimate guide" this book will certainly not disappoint. Beer leads connoisseurs and novices alike through the vast and varied world of the amber nectar. And the not so amber nectar....darker beers, pale ales and stouts also claim many entries.

"What Makes a Great Beer?" is an informative opening chapter which covers the whole process, from the growing of grains and hops to the tasting of the final brew. Subsequent chapters cover other important topics--including "Which Beer When?" and "Cooking With Beer"--authoritatively and in depth. But if all that feels like far too much information, then just peruse the pages--the stunning photographs make you lick your lips in anticipation. From the standard English Bitters, Scottish Ales and Belgian Beers you may be familiar with, to the more unusual varieties such as chocolate brews or Flemish "sweet and sours", there's something for every palate. Anybody who still subscribes to the outdated, and somewhat snobbish belief, that the grape is far superior to the grain will be in with a shock--this book will prove you wrong. --Lucie Naylor

Synopsis
A guide to 450 classic brews of beer to increase the appreciation of the flavours of ingredients of beer, from the sharp, hoppy bite of an India Pale Ale to the rich, sweet malt of a German double bock. It describes how to serve beers and also how to cook with it to enhance the flavour of food.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highlights beer as more than insipid lager and stale bitter, 25 May 1999
By A Customer
This book is a beer lovers dream. Pages and pages of gorgeous photography draw you in and once there the temptation to jet off and look out some of the more obscure brands on offer.

I'd reccomend this book to both seasoned beer lovers and those wanting to get past the more commercial beers and enter into the unknown.
