Beer: it's everywhere. In pubs, restaurants, bars, and homes around the world beer is a mainstay, almost universal in its reach. Beer: A Global History explores and celebrates the heritage of one of the world's greatest and most diverse drinks, from its earliest origins to contemporary consumption. Both informative and highly entertaining, Beer explores a legion of brews from Mexico to Milwaukee, and from Beijing to Bruges. The book covers the evolution of beer brewing and the technology behind it, as well as the growth of beer-drinking culture and the matching of beer and food. A handy appendix provides information on beer-related museums, festivals, publications and websites. Around 55 illustrations illuminate and embellish the fascinating story of beer: those who have made it, those who have drunk it, and its notable place in modern global culture. Including a selection of recipes intended to be appreciated with the addition of a glass or two of the 'amber nectar', Beer will appeal to the connoisseur already familiar with this noble libation, as well as the casual fan who simply wants to know more about the fascinating history of this most popular of beverages.
