The Beer Book -
A book for every beer-guzzling, lager-loving, draft-drinking enthusiast!

Published: 1st October, Price: £16.99

With the UK’s population spending more than £3 billion on beer every year, we’re clearly a nation with a passion for a pint. More than just a means of intoxication, beer is a drink to taste, savour, talk about and travel for. A comprehensive one-stop guide to the world’s favourite drink, The Beer Book will encourage you to analyse the contents of your glass in a way you’ve never done before.

Featuring a striking visual catalogue of over 2000 lagers, ales and bitters, The Beer Book showcases the plethora of different beers that the great brewing nations of the world have to offer. The core section of the book ‘Beers to Travel For’ takes you on an exciting tour of all the key breweries, revealing the secrets behind the taste and texture of each individual drink. From Bamburg in Germany to Prague in Czech Republic, ‘Beer Trails’ appear for each nation with detailed maps and itineraries to ensure you become acquainted with local drinking habits.

The Beer Book tells you everything you always wanted to know about beer, but perhaps had one too many to ask. It’s the perfect gift for every beer lover…
and a must-have companion for every Stag Weekend!
