The Good Beer BookHarper and Oliver's beer book is twice good: it is about good--flavorful, zesty, attractive--beer, and it is a good--amusing, informative, lively--book. It covers beer history, how and of what beer is made, the major styles of lagers and ales, the rebirth of American craft brewing, the rise of brewpubs, big brewers' response to craft brewing, and proper beer handling and tasting, and it provides advice on beer and food, annotated lists of outstanding American and European breweries, a little gazetteer of brewpubs and beer bars, some home brew recipes, online and periodical resource lists, and a glossary. Other books are more comprehensive on one or another, even several, of these matters (e.g., there are book-length beer gazetteers), but none treats them all so well at so reasonable a price.
