Kosher wines have been winning prestigious international
competitions and creating a buzz among wine connoisseurs, yet most
kosher consumers still opt for traditional sweet stuff. Irving

subtleties of fine wine and now he s ready to share his knowledge
with you. With wit as dry as his favorite Merlot, Irving guides you
on a fascinating, often whimsical journey, teaching you all you
need to know: the differences between red, white, and sparkling
wines; the ten steps of wine tasting; how to navigate a restaurant
wine menu. He takes the mystery out of pairing wine with food, and
provides solid lists of resources including wineries, critics, and
helpful websites. Taking it to the next level, Irving probes the
highly significant role of this spiritually charged drink in Jewish
culture and history. Bursting with facts, folklore, and humor, The
Kosher Grapevine will transform you from ho-hum Kiddush sipper to
savvy wine aficionado.

Originally published during the early part of the twentieth
century, the Cambridge Manuals of Science and Literature were
designed to provide concise introductions to a broad range of
topics. They were written by experts for the general reader and
combined a comprehensive approach to knowledge with an emphasis on
accessibility. Brewing by A. Chaston Chapman was first published in
1912. The volume presents an account of the methods and scientific
principles underlying the process of brewing.
Now is the best time in U.S. history to be a craft beer lover.
Whether you want to be a craft beer expert or just learn more
before trying your first craft beer, The Guide to Craft Beer will
help you navigate the brave new world of beer. As of early 2019,
more than 7,000 breweries are reinvigorating the beer scene with
traditional styles and using American ingenuity to brew beers that
push the boundaries of style. These small and independent breweries
are changing the way we think about beer. The Guide to Craft Beer
explains what craft beer is and how breweries are building
community in their local areas. Dive into the 80+ style summaries
and determine what beer you might like or find new styles to seek
out. Develop your own tasting adventure with beer pairing tips for
different styles and types of foods that marry well with them.
Record your personal journey using the tasting log included in each
book. A great resource for new or seasoned beer drinkers and
perfect for gift-giving!
The original India Pale Ale was pure gold in a glass; a
semi-mythical beer specially invented, in the 19th century, to
travel halfway around the world, through storms and tropical
sunshine, and arrive in perfect condition for a long, cold drink on
an Indian verandah. But although you can still buy beers with 'IPA'
on the label they are, to be frank, a pale imitation of the
original. For the first time in 140 years, a keg of Burton IPA has
been brewed with the original recipe for a voyage to India by canal
and tall ship, around the Cape of Good Hope; and the man carrying
it is the award-winning Pete Brown, Britain's best beer write.
Brazilian pirates and Iranian customs officials lie ahead, but will
he even make it that far, have fallen in the canal just a few miles
out of Burton? And if Pete does make it to the other side of the
world with 'Barry' the barrel, one question remains: what will the
real IPA taste like? Weaving first-class travel writing with
assured comedy, Hops and Glory is both a rollicking, raucous
history of the Raj and a wonderfully entertaining, groundbreaking
experiment to recreate the finest beer ever produced.
Beer has been consumed across the globe for centuries and was the
drink of choice in many ancient societies. Today it is the most
important alcoholic drink worldwide, in terms of volume and value.
The largest brewing companies have developed into global
multinationals, and the beer market has enjoyed strong growth in
emerging economies, but there has been a substantial decline of
beer consumption in traditional markets and a shift to new
products. There is close interaction between governments and
markets in the beer industry. For centuries, taxes on beer or its
raw materials have been a major source of tax revenue and
governments have regulated the beer industry for reasons related to
quality, health, and competition.
This book is the first economic analysis of the beer market and
brewing industry. The introduction provides an economic history of
beer, from monasteries in the early Middle Ages to the recent
'microbrewery movement', whilst other chapters consider whether
people drink more beer during recessions, the effect of television
on local breweries, and what makes a country a 'beer drinking'
nation. It comprises a comprehensive and unique set of economic
research and analysis on the economics of beer and brewing and
covers economic history and development, supply and demand, trade
and investment, geography and scale economies, technology and
innovation, health and nutrition, quantity and quality, industrial
organization and competition, taxation and regulation, and regional
beer market developments.
