The Complete Idiot's Guide to Beer Tasting: A Comprehensive Guide to Understanding and Enjoying Beer

Rita Kohn

Paperback, 258 pages. 2013

Very good condition

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Beer Tasting provides readers with a comprehensive introduction to understanding and enjoying the vast styles and complex characteristics of beer.

Understanding and enjoying beer is no longer a simple process, as beer has gone from a world of relatively small offerings from major brewers to a universe of literally hundreds of unique styles from craft brewers around the world.

Like wine, the taste and subtle characteristics of beer can be affected by a number of different components including the brewing style, the yeasts and hops that determine taste and character, how the various grains are used in brewing, and more.

It is not a guide to brewing, it's a guide to tasting, understanding, and enjoying what has become a complex and often confusing process of enjoying one of the world's oldest beverages. Readers will learn the brewing process and how it can affect a beer, how to recognize tasting notes and aromas, how to identify unique styles, how to taste and enjoy them properly; even how to select the right glassware and serving temperature for maximum enjoyment.

Price: $10
