From mass-produced lagers to craft-brewery IPAs, from beers made in
Trappist monasteries according to traditional techniques to those
created by innovative local brewers seeking to capture regional
terroir, the world of beer boasts endless varieties. The diversity
of beer does not only reflect the differences among the people and
cultures who brew this beverage. It also testifies to the vast
range of plants that help give different styles of beer their
distinguishing flavor profiles. This book is a comprehensive and
beautifully illustrated compendium of the characteristics and
properties of the plants used in making beer around the world. The
botanical expert Giuseppe Caruso presents scientifically rigorous
descriptions, accompanied by his own hand-drawn ink images, of more
than 500 species. For each one, he gives the scientific
classification, common names, and information about morphology,
geographical distribution and habitat, and cultivation range.
Caruso provides detailed information about each plant's
applications in beer making, including which of its parts are
employed, as well as its chemical composition, its potential
toxicity, and examples of beers and styles in which it is typically
used. The book also considers historical uses, aiding brewers who
seek to rediscover ancient and early modern concoctions. This book
will appeal to a wide audience, from beer aficionados to botany
enthusiasts, providing valuable information for homebrewers and
professional beer makers alike. It reveals how botanical knowledge
can open new possibilities for today's and tomorrow's brewers.
Explore the vibrant world of craft beer with Lonely Planet Global
Beer Tour. We've selected some of the finest tap rooms, bars and
breweries that thirsty travellers can visit in 30 countries around
the world. Discover how to find them, which beers to sample, and
learn about local places of interest with our recommended
itineraries. Each country is introduced by a beer expert and
includes regional beverages that shouldn't be missed. There's a
world of great beer to taste - go and discover it! So why go beer
touring, especially when it's easy and cheap to find interesting
craft beers in your local shop? Firstly, craft beer doesn't travel
too well and is affected by changes in temperature and long
distances. And secondly, due to the explosion in small-scale
breweries, many great beers aren't distributed outside their city
or region. Beer often tastes better the closer it is to home,
especially if that's straight from a tap in the actual brewery. The
craft beer revolution has seen waves of breweries open up to the
public, not just in the United States, the UK and Australia, where
the trend is well established, but all over the world. Visit
European beer capitals like Belgium, Italy and Germany, and sample
local favourites in Canada, Australia and New Zealand. In Asia,
explore hotspots in Japan, Vietnam and China, then venture to South
America, Africa and the Middle East. Each brewery is accompanied by
a selection of sightseeing ideas and activities, from local museums
and galleries, to great hikes or bike rides. The book also features
fun sections on beer trails, hangover cures and the world's wildest
beers. There's also practical advice like how to ask for a beer in
the local language and the ideal snacks to accompany your drink.

lovers turned an industry on its head, saved this country's unique

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.
An inside look at how craft beer makers and IPA devotees come
together to brew, taste, and enjoy fine ale while also building a
sense of community in Las Vegas Equally reviled and revered as Sin
City, Las Vegas is both exceptional and emblematic of contemporary
American cultural practices and tastes. Michael Ian Borer takes us
inside the burgeoning Las Vegas craft beer scene to witness how its
adherents use beer to create and foster not just a local culture
but a locals' culture. Through compelling, detailed first-hand
accounts and interviews, Vegas Brews provides an unprecedented look
into the ways that brewers, distributors, bartenders, and drinkers
fight against the perceived and preconceived norm about what
"happens in Vegas" and lay claim to a part of their city that is
too often overshadowed by the bright lights of tourist sites. Borer
shows how our interactions with the things we care about-and the
ways that we care about how they're made, treated, and consumed-can
lead to new senses of belonging and connections with and to others
and the places where we live. In a world where people and things
move around at an extraordinary pace, the folks Borer spent time
talking (and drinking) with remind us to slow down and learn how to
taste the "good life," or at least a semblance of it, even in a
city where style is often valued over substance.

Real ale and other craft beers have become increasingly popular
over the past few years, and as a result more people have been
compelled to try making their own homebrew. However, while the

brewing in theory and practise is being able to spot the signs of
trouble and know how to respond. CAMRA's Home-Brewing Problem
Solver provides the information you need to nip problems in the bud
- and, better still, to avoid them in the first place.
