Recenzii
The author has the gift of both knowing his subject and how to get it across easily and enjoyably. It was meaningfully, yet lightly, presented and enhanced by the many anecdotes scattered throughout.
In theory the book is meant for beer enthusiasts of all types, though the geekiest of geeks looking to deepen their arcana may find little of interest here. On the other hand, those same geeks might find this book - if given as a gift - a wise and time saving alternative to boring the pants off their beer curious friends.
Much like an icy-cold but thoroughly new-to-you brew on a blistering-hot day, "In Praise of Beer" truly is a refreshing surprise. Reading this book, in fact, is like sitting in an adult classroom, and the instructor's brought a six-pack to share.
As a leader of the brewing industry for more than 40 years, Bamforth is an expert on what makes a good pint and introduces the reader to the intricacies of brewing in an expert but amiable way.
If there's a pre-eminent scholar of beer, the author is it. This succinctly written book doesn't overload the technical jargon, includes a solid glossary, and does a nice job of explaining styles.
In Praise of Beer is full of moments of levity and insightful comments (one might even say gossip) from Bamforth's career that make the technical details approachable and entertaining for any beer fan.
