5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive Listing of the World's Best Beers, June 17, 2008

This book is exactly what I was looking for, but it's not for everyone. If you're looking to learn about Belgian beer then I suggest you look elsewhere. This book is intended for those who already know what they're looking for.

It's best used as a catalog or "to drink" list. Each beer is shown in the bottle and in the glass on one page and general information about the beer is on the facing page. The info includes: fermentation method, style, brewery, ingredients, alcohol content, appearance, serving suggestion, serving temperature and a brief description. The description is more factual than review and is intended not to influence the reader. The author left space for you to write your own notes on the beer. I hope to fill the notes on every page.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Belgian Beer "Picture" Bible, October 6, 2008

This review is from: All Belgian Beers (Hardcover)

This book is a must have for anyone looking for a concise list of the current belgian beer market. This book will be no help to beginners. This book is for the expert beer geek who knows his styles and is looking for a list complete w/ pictures to help him find beers in their favorite belgian style. Each beer is listed with the fermentation style, style of beer, brewer, Alc %, color, pouring directions/type of glassware, perfect drinking temp, flavors/tastes, and other minor info...on the other page is an awesome picture of the bottle and proper glassware. The only thing that is off is the size of the book....it's hardcover book about 4 inches thick, 6 inches tall and 5 inches wide. A very weird sized hardcover to say the least. Don't be thrown off by the price @ $30+ it's a steal.

This review is from: All Belgian Beers (Hardcover)

Being a BeerMason I was very excited when I can across this little tome.
Unfortunately it's nothing more than a picture book of Belgian Beer, which is the great aspect, but the information about each beer is scant at best. I'd love a bit more in depth information and some food matching if they publish another issue.
