A Keeper!
Reviewed by Irene Watson for Reader Views (8/08) First of all, I have to admit I am not a fan of drinking beer. However, that said, I love to cook with it! I was thrilled to see an actual cookbook using beer. What's even more exciting is this book has over 400 recipes. The "Grilled Herb Chicken" is awesome! This recipe is for a whole chicken and I suppose the same could be attained with ...

Ray Daniels

Brewers Publications, 2000

Excellent, Solid Resource
This book is an excellent, in-depth resource on the subject of homebrewing. It is an incredibly detailed and well-researched book, and doesn't shy away from simple math, as many others on the subject do. For those brewers that aren't as mathematically inclined, the equations presented are tabulated, so that they never HAVE to be used. Daniels carefully explains the factors that affect important ...

Sometimes there's more to beer than meets the eye. Like tea it's more of a simple, easy and relaxing ...

Brewers Publications, 2006

Answers all the questions you had after reading The Complete Joy of Homebrewing
I read "The Complete Joy of Homebrewing" by Charlie Papazian front to back and found myself not having a complete understanding of the entire brewing process, so I thought I would buy another book and after reading this one I was not at all disappointed. John Palmer describes the purpose of this book very well at its introduction; he says "(Brewing) sounds fairly simple, doesn't it? It really ...

One down, hundred or so to go
I've only tried one recipe so far and was very happy with it. I partial mash and I modified their recipe to include more grain and less extract. So many brews . . . so little time!

A very good read
By nature, I am not a "reader"... I have a large stack of books that I've picked up over the years to pacify me while traveling. Most still have their respective airline ticket stubs safely marking the spot where I left off reading. So yes, it's a tad ironic that I'm now leaving a book review here... However, I read this cover-to-cover in two (long) evenings (that alone will tell anyone that ...

Fireside, 1996

Excellent addition to a homebrewer's library.
Ok, so some recipes are in need of adjustment, but the book is loaded with recipes and interesting brewer tips. It is simple, but it is not a step-by-step how-to. I suggest that this is good for the homebrewer that is ready to experiment and try new things and of course, the more experienced can tweak the recipe when and if needed. The beginning section touches on the framework for all the ...

Makes your tongue juice up with anticipation
This beautiful, soft-covered book is fit for the great-room coffee table, but lives with even greater panache in the kitchen. Saunders traces the specialties of craft beer and food within each section of American continent: from the chocolate beer dinners of Chef Bruce Paton at the Cathedral Hill Hotel in San Francisco, California, to "A Day at the Beach" menus with Alaskan Amber-glazed grilled ...

Love it! Informative And fun!!
I was surprised, at first, at the modern design of the book regarding mixed fonts and many pictures. It reminds me of how magazine and newspaper articles are formatted thought, so it feels very familiar and accessable to me. I like it. This is a book that's full of information. It would be easy to overwhelm a reader with knowledge all at once. The light style and gentle banter encourages me to ...

Very enjoyable and informative
This is a large, coffee-table sized book on nice, glossy paper with beautiful photos and graphics. Those of you who know Jackson as a beer and scotch writer need no introduction to him, but for those of you who won't, Jackson has authored numerous books on single-malt whisky and beer and starred in and wrote the "The Beer Hunter" TV series, where he travelled the world in search of great beers. ...

Great book about great beers
Even before I visited all the Trappist monasteries in Belgium I have been a big fan of the many Belgian beer styles. This book is an excellent guide to beers you may have already tried and ones you already understand and appreciate. Not only that, but it's beautifully laid out with outstanding photographs.

Christmas Beer: The Cheeriest, Tastiest, and Most Unusual Holiday Brews
Don Russell

Universe, 2008

Christmas beers, also known as Winter Warmers, are a tradition dating back at least 2,000 years, with the ancients making highly intoxicating brews to celebrate winter?s Saturnalia. This brewmaking evolved into a holiday celebration when medieval monks, the world?s first professional brewers, pulled out their finest ingredients to produce soul-warming styles for the occasion. Today brewers continue the custom, either with centuries-old recipes ...

Liberating! The Greatest Book on Brewing "Beers"
This book takes the reader to places most homebrew books never dare or dream to go. Most homebrew books are a rehash of boring methods, and recipes. This is NOT one of those books. This book brings brewing back to its human level. It tells the tales of people around the world and the methods they have used since before most of the cultures could write. Making fermented drinks is a prehistoric ...
