The Bible of Beer May 31, 2010
Robert A Tomasino
If you like beer and you want to learn as much as possible about beer, you must have this book. Even if you do not like beer, it a great read from front to back.
An excellent resource... March 20, 2010

Purchased this for my husband as one of my anniversary gifts to him. Seems silly, but we both really love trying new and exotic beers. This is an excellent resource for deciding what to try and even has a log in the back to keep track of your experiences.

This guide has more than just a listing of breweries by country and geographical areas: it has guides on what glassware to use, vignettes on famous breweries, beer tour guides, guides to beer styles, beer and food pairings, etc. Although craft beer is the major focus, the book does not slam major breweries as the collaborators do not want to turn away readers. This helps get more into craft beer! Some breweries have four featured beers and others have two which kind of shows which craft breweries the authors really dig. (or were there space considerations?) Beer geeks will be happy to see craft breweries like 3 Floyds, Russian River, Nogne, Mikkeller, Troegs, Portsmouth, Alesmith, Descutes and others are listed among the hundreds of breweries featured. There is a section in the back for tasting notes. But the book seems more like a coffee table fixture than one I'd carry to the stores, tastings or beer events. The illustrations are bright, vivid, and easy to peruse.
I have to hen peck to list small changes I see needed: put Paulaner in section of German breweries, take Ireland out of "British Isles," add Dark Star to the list of UK breweries, and keep cranking out this book every few years!

This book is amazing. It features hundreds of beers, categorized by country and brewery. Great descriptions, full color photos of the labels. It is interspersed with other great beer facts, details of the ingredients, how brewing is done, etc.
This is a must for anyone who enjoys beers and wants to try as many different ones as they can. There are several pages at the back for your own notes, but I'm going to get a pad of post-it notes and sticky them as I go.
Buy it!

I got this book for my birthday last year and it's absolutely the best light reading beer book out there. Very fun book that you can look at and read again and again, and never get bored with it. Excellent pictures and paper quality. Love it.
