Title's wrong. Better would be The Beer Encyclopedia. Lots of information here. And lots of unintended humor. "For those used to standard draft Guinness, FES [Foreign Extra Stout] is a shock. It is a huge beer, and rough and thick as a stevedore's neck." Apparently Mr. Alworth's experience with stevedores' necks is limited to the 11 inch circumference ones.

On IPAs, he lists Lagunitas Hop Stoopid (which I've had many times) right next to Heady Topper (which I haven't yet) which is interesting given Heady's mythical reputation for those of us who can't get it. And he lists Odell's 90 Shilling as one of the best Scottish Ales out there. That confused me as I was not impressed with it.

Anyway, he has chops, and opinions, and I got some good leads...

Worth the slow read.

This book deserves space on your library shelf as it's length approximates that of an authoritative reference. Nevertheless, it is not nearly as lively and interesting as Mosher's "Drinking Beer" and Waller's "Drinkology Beer." If you are interested in a genuinely fun introduction to the study of beer Waller's is the best place to start.

A truly comprehensive collection of beer knowledge. I've read quite a few books about beer, but this one surpasses most. The sections are divided by beer types and each part provides extensive details about that type's history, process, and notable beers. There's a section at the beginning describing beer basics and general history as well. A part at the end is very helpful. It includes serving/glass suggestions, possible food pairings, and more. Definitely a must-have for those interested in all things beer. I recommend the print copy.
