Unlike The Beer Guide, by Oakes, or the Rate Beers website, both of which rate beers, The Beer Book shows what beers are out there, today, with nice photos. Arranged by brewery in each country, it is easy to find your favorite brew, and see what other beers that brewery is making. Nice piece on glasses as well. A wonderful complement to The Beer Guide and an essential, and up-to-date reference.

This is a massive collection and visual journey though the world of beers. As a beer lover myself I could not resist purchasing this book.
This encyclopedia, goes through beers alphabetical and by geographic region, there are sampling notes for the top brews each brewing company makes, as well as nice bright photos of each bottle. inside you will fine walking tours for fantastic pubs around the world, as well as a look at the large breweries themselves and the brew masters who work them.
I only wish it could have even more beers, as only the 2 or 3 beers are mentioned for each brewery, though it is already quite a collection.
Also on the front cover of the book where the title is, is a huge coaster! i got a kick out of that when it arrived! though i would not set any beer on that one!
Get it if you like beer, get it for someone who likes beer, you wont regret it, and it will only expand your appreciation for this delicious brew.

I bought this book for my boyfriend, who is a growing beer fanatic, and he absolutely loves it. I am a huge fan of DK’s encyclopedias, and this book lives up to my standards for them. It has enough pictures to keep him (and me, a non-beer drinker) interested, as well as enough information about the beers so that he can find them to buy when he wants. A great reference for beer drinkers looking to expand their “repetoire”.

If you like beer and you want to learn as much as possible about beer, you must have this book. Even if you do not like beer, it a great read from front to back.

Purchased this for my husband as one of my anniversary gifts to him. Seems silly, but we both really love trying new and exotic beers. This is an excellent resource for deciding what to try and even has a log in the back to keep track of your experiences.
