Simply the best book on beer I've read yet. Really informative, historical, pictorial, and well written. Has that classic Jackson dry humor. I just couldn't put this down; this book just about covers it all when it comes to Belgium and beer! I particularly enjoyed the chapter on the lambics and the trappists. Anybody that is into Belgian beer like I am, this is a must read. This book now in its sixth edition is fully updated and Mr. Jackson even goes through and describes how each brewery has changed since the first edition he put out. R.I.P Michael Jackson.

Even before I visited all the Trappist monasteries in Belgium I have been a big fan of the many Belgian beer styles. This book is an excellent guide to beers you may have already tried and ones you already understand and appreciate. Not only that, but it's beautifully laid out with outstanding photographs.

A great book on belgian beers by probaly the greatest beer advocate of our times. Make me want to take a trip to Belgium so I can taste these beers for myself.

This book is not only beautifully illustrated and printed, with its many lovely pictures of the breweries and thier beers, but it is also one of the most insightful and well written works on beer appreciation. Truly a must have for any belgian beer enthusiast, especially if you're ever planning a trip to the motherland itself. A truly excellent piece of work.
