Book Description

June 27, 2006

Dive into the refreshing, intoxicating, exhilarating world of beer

Once upon a time, a beer aficionado had to be content with a mere handful of American-made brews. But now, with grocery store, package store, and beverage retailer coolers bulging with literally hundreds of different brands from all over the world, it's easy to get lost among the pilsners and stouts—and a challenge to decide which beer is right for the occasion.

Beer is the answer. This comprehensive, easy-to-use guide is the perfect companion for every lover of the miracle of malt and hops—including an exhaustive list and rating of the cornucopia of brews currently available, as well as helpful tips to assist the novice in distinguishing lager from ale, domestic from import, and choosing what beer to serve with dinner tonight. There are beer labels featured throughout to help you identify exactly what you're looking for—and there's even an invaluable chapter on home-brewing, for the eager do-it-yourselfer!

There's something for every serious beer drinker in Beer—the only handbook you'll ever need if you truly enjoy cracking open a cold one.

4.0 out of 5 stars A more than decent book on beer., September 28, 2006
This review is from: Beer: Domestic, Imported, and Home Brewed (Mass Market Paperback)
Ms. Adamson has taken on the rather large task of describing a world full of beer and trying to condense it into a readable and usable format. I think that she did a very nice job at this.

The book breaks down beer so that even the lay person might understand the basic components and techniques used to make beer. Differences between lagers and ales, along with differences in beer styles are explained quite nicely so that you would reasonably know what you are buying/ordering when you take that first visit to a beer bar/beer store.

The main body of the book consists of a regional/country breakdown with styles listed, a description of the style and finally a fairly good list of beers representitive of the style.

Ms. Adamson did her homework, probably to the chagrin of her liver. The list of beers is about as up to date as I have seen. While not every beer of that style is listed, the examples she gives should be fairly easy to find.

Overall, this is a nice little book for someone who has gotten an interest in beer and would like to know a good deal more about the world of beer.

3.0 out of 5 stars Small and Efficient, February 24, 2007
This review is from: Beer: Domestic, Imported, and Home Brewed (Mass Market Paperback)
A great little book on beer, it covers a big topic in a small efficient book. The book format is more like a technical reference and very repetitious. Lack of an index greatly diminishes the value and usefulness of the book. Still, the first 2 chapters as well as the introduction to each chapter are great and very readable. The last chapter on home brewing is also nice. These parts make the book well worth the price just for these parts. If it had an index I could give it another star and maybe two.

I found this book in an airport book store. When you search for beer on Amazon it never shows up. I do not understand why. It is just too new and up-to-date.
