Mutli-million dollar branded or small-scale craft creation? Lager or ale? Boldly quaffed or genteelly sipped? However you enjoy your beer, you may not know as much about it as you think.

30-Second Beer is here to enlighten you, with a trip around the world’s beers, a look at brewing history, a dissection of the different sorts of brew and their unique characteristics, and an up-to-date overview of the current craft scene and the various (and ever-changing) fashions in beer drinking.

50 topics, divided under seven chapter headings, offering short, witty summaries, whether covering the basics or trade secrets. You’ll pick up the knowledge without noticing—and by the time you reach the last page, you’ll be able to hold your own with local beer experts anywhere in the world.
