Tasting Beer  by Randy Mosher
Beer may be the beverage of the people, but it is far from simple. With 10,000 years of history, more than 900 identified flavours, dozens of styles, and thousands of breweries around the world, beer is every bit as complex as wine. Mosher guides readers to a better understanding of how every batch of beer is created by the brewmaster's art - yeasts, fermentations, carbonation, filtration and much more. Readers will learn how to identify the scents, colours, flavours, and mouth-feel of all the major beer styles. The second half covers the major brewing families. For each there are historical and regional facts, tastes and aromas, seasonal availability, food pairings, and a few terrific recommendations for readers to sample.

Either way, you will find plenty in this book to set your tastebuds tingling. From the dark impenetrable mysteries of stout to the delicacy of pilsner, from the sternness of barley wine to the hoppy fruitiness of a summer ale - here, in one brief international survey, are not
