Being a book about Real Ale, you won't find any lager recipes in here. Just as well, as properly brewed lagers are more dificult to brew at home. This makes the book an excellent entry into home brewing, having instructions for extract, partial mash and full mash brewing. The recipes are clear and easy to understand and make a good basis for creating your own beers once you've gained a bit more confidence. The anecdotes about the history of different types of beers make this book more interesting than a straight instruction book. I would also recommend the CAMRA Guide to Hoembrewing and Brew Classic European Beers at Home by the same author.
