Synopsis: &“If you need a little beer brush-up, or know someone who does, Drinkology Beer is one of the most fun educational beverage reads we&’ve had in years&” (LA Weekly). So a guy or a gal walks into a bar and orders a . . . what? A Belgian lambic? A German Hefeweizen? An American barley wine? Today, with thousands of beers being made in the US and many imported ales and lagers available at taverns and retailers, the once-simple decision to have a beer may feel a little like drowning. Drinkology Beer to the rescue. James Waller&’s book is written especially for beer lovers who have no idea what &“sparge&” or &“IBU&” might mean. After covering the basics of brewing, Waller provides an informative, witty, and accessible compendium of the globe&’s beer styles, ranging from Abbey Ale to Zwickel. With special features including a roundup of &“beer culture&” (such as beer songs and movies about beer), notes on touring breweries, and a selection of beer-cocktail recipes and food dishes you can make with beer, Drinkology Beer is a beer book completely unlike any other. &“The budding beer aficionado in your life will smile when you hand him a gift-wrapped copy of James Waller&’s Drinkology Beer: A Book About the Brew.&” —Richmond Times-Dispatch
