Beer Drinker's Dictionary Gregg & Lisa Smith

A dictionary - reference book for Beer Enthusiasts. Formerly the Beer Drinker's Bible this update and revision contains additional chapters and content. The opening chapter describes various beer styles commonly seen today. This is followed by a chapter on beer flavors and aromas; it provides examples on both the desirable and undesirable characteristics of beer and a basic explanation on how these are produced. Following chapters cover various beer names both by global region and those of an historical nature. Chapter Four reaches into beer-based mixed drinks. Some of these are in use today while others represent both the arcane and other drinks that have fallen from favor. It includes the basic composition of those drinks for people who may want to replicate these brews. Following chapters describe the wide range of beer vessels that have been used over the Centuries. Yet another chapter revisits the type and character of Inns, Taverns, Saloons and Bars. Finally, the book's last chapter is a compilation of favorite beer and drinking sayings and quotes.
