The Encyclopedia of World Beers: A Reference Guide for Connoisseurs

Rating:
Summary: Well-researched, smart and entertaining read
Review: Great book! Fascinating historical anecdotes, extensive descriptions of various craft-breweries and beers, and terrific photographs make for a fun and informative book. This is a must-read for anyone with a strong interest in beer...interest beyond gargantuan plastic mugs and flaccid, aluminum-flavored, fraternity party kegs of 'weak-weiser'!

Rating:
Summary: An actual, detailed and pleasant book
Review: In a very balanced way, between the " conaissance" and the simple language, it is a very good book. Most of the conseils and description of the beers of the world are correct. The others i'll try!

Rating:
Summary: Two thumbs up!
Review: Turns a novice beer drinker (me) into a beer connoisseur! I consulted the guide before my last vacation and ended up at a great new brewery in my home town. It'll be a great holiday gift for my beer-guzzling friends!
