Beer for Dummies
by Marty Nachel, Steve Ettlinger
This book is both an excellent starting point for someone just learning about beer and a useful resource for more experienced connoisseurs and brewers. Nachel profiles beer festivals and events around the world, gives tips for pouring, storing, and drinking beer, and includes a load of reference material, from beer ingredients to little known facts about beer. His irreverent style makes what could be a boring encyclopedia into an interesting resource.
