If you've ever sat in a pub with a pint and wondered how people approach their beer drinking in other countries (or how it is brewed, marketed, served, and what food is served with it), you'll enjoy this book! The author combines a healthy dose of British humor with a genuine love of beer to recount his world travels. Warning: I was subject to occasional intense cravings of the beers that Mr. Brown drank around the world while reading.

I did not think this book was useful for my research within the UK brewery industry. However, I could not put this book down. It was a quick read and very humorous. As I read through each chapter, I could only imagine how the pub looked and even how the beer tasted. This book makes me want to travel and really see how the different countries have different reactions for the common drink of beer. I particularly like the ad-lib of Anheiser-Busch as well as the description of the rise of the US beer culture. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn more about the global, cultural history of beer. It's not just for beer drinkers, everyone will enjoy it!

Purchased for my grown son, who is a beer "expert". He has read it from cover to cover and learned even more than he knew already.

This is the first review I've written on a book... actually on anything. But, I HAD to write something on this one. It definitely deserved it. This is my new beer bible! This book has a place of honor behind my bar. It is a definite "must read" for anyone even remotely interested in beer, it's history, and the many places around the world where it's served. I couldn't put this book down. You won't be disappointed, I promise! Cheers!
