Beer is the world’s most popular alcoholic drink — a joygiving, convivial, nutritious and delicious gift from nature and possibly the most diverse alcoholic libation with over 100 different styles and thousands of brands. This book, written by a leading beer sommelier, not only delves into the rich history of beer production and drinking but contains practical advice and explanations of beer styles, which ones to drink and why, food-matching suggestions, and the not-to-be-missed best beers in the world. There’s no better accompaniment to the perfect pint.
