This book takes you around the world in search of the, great beers and provides a fascinating insight into the, history of the world's major beer styles and the, different brewing methods that created them. Each beer is discussed, the taste is described and, best of all, a recipe provided, chosen to represent a particular style. (For example, Lowenbrau is chosen to represent a Bavarian lager.)
