 Rating:  - Good guide!It's a great guide. It fulfills what it was made for! I recommend it. Rating: - Celebration of the primordial liquid goldBeing one of the world's oldest beverages, beer was known to Egyptians and Mesopotamians, even written about by ancient Sumerians and still enjoyed to this day, the constant way of reinventing and flavor and introducing new brands can be overwhelming but not with this easy to read guide.

In his book, TBH (the beer hunter) tours all the major beer producing regions of the globe, and discusses many of their most well known and widely selling offerings. It's a great book to learn about the names ... Read More Rating: - Rather out of dateI bought this book because I was just getting into craft beer and I wanted to gain a better understanding of the different types of beers and their history. This book, however, is really just a directory of beers with pictures and short descriptions. If the beer you are drinking is in the book, then it's nice to read up on the beer. It's especially good for European beers. However, its selection of American craft beers leaves a lot to be desired and passes over tons of the best American craft beers ...
