Book The World Atlas of beer's law
This is a really pretty book and a good way to learn I highly recommend it I was given this book for review through a first reads giveaway 1402789610 I consider myself knowledgeable about craft beer and was nervous that this atlas would talk down to me Needn t have worried This atlas is authoritative taught me than a thing or two and insightful on beer styles and their antecedents The atlas is divided into regions of the world and then focuses on individual countries Places countries in their historical brewing context and speculates on their potential future in craft brewing Fantastic insights on the state of craft brewing per region and filled with plenty of ideas for your next beercation I savored this book like a well crafted beer 1402789610 A solid primer of beer with a few frustrating copy and layout errors.
