Protz is well-known as a beer man and writes well - if a little predictably (I seem to have read some of this before in some of his other, many, tomes). But the pictures are fabulous and if you're a beer bore, a ticker or just fanatical about real ale, you'll love this on your coffee table, to make you yearn for a decent pint (or bottle) rather than the usual rubbish down the local.
However I do think there are better recent beer books - for instance Adrian Tierney-Jones' Big Book of Beer - produced also by CAMRA - is pretty damn excellent and very informative (I learned lots of new stuff from it). Also Pete Brown's Three Sheets to the Wind for one man's obsessive hunt for beer around the world. So - this one's quite good, but ... Read More: >>More Details |

For the technical side of brewing this book covers what you need to know! I also have the "complete joy of homebrewing" which is also a great book and lot of fun to read, but to be honest it is not as up to date as this book. I recommend this book together with "designing great beer" - with this set you'll be able to brew the most common types of beer with very good results.

"Man Walks into a Pub" is a well researched piece of work from a guy who spent a fair number of years in the booze trade. I bought this book after it was featured in a copy of the Writers' Forum and the author seemed to be a genuine down-to-earth fellow; the kind of regular who you'd be likely to meet in a local bar.
It's packed full of anecdotes - for example, the average pint back in 1914 was 8% in strength (compared to 4-5% today). This is the kind of book that your father would enjoy on his birthday, at Christmas or on Father's Day. It's a read for the man who probably has just about everything and you can't think of what to get him. It covers economic, social and business aspects of alcohol. Even politics is discussed ...

Morrissey's Perfect Pintby: Neil Morrissey, Richard Fox September 01, 2008 Best Selling > Books > Beer |

I picked this up thinking it would do as a stocking filler for anyone keen on Morrissey or Men Behaving Badly. However, having had a good look through I'd say that this book has enough bar jokes and anecdotes to satisfy the men behaving fans but also has a number of really good brewing recipes and beer tips to genuinely interest amateur beer brewers and enthusiasts. Overall, a very good read.

I own one of the pubs listed, the George and Devonshire, in Chiswick. It is the oldest pub in Chiswick, built some time prior to 1657, and we still trade in the original building. However, Bob Steel commits the cardinal error of not checking his facts by casually stating the the pub is s '20th century re-build', which would appear to be obvious nonsense to anyone who has actually visited the place! If Bob Steel did not visit the George and Devonshire, which is Casque Mark accredited for the quality of our real ale, how many other pubs included in the book were also not visited?

Thanks Pete, now I don't have to spend a fortune travelling round the world finding out about beer cos you've done that hard work for me.
But hang on there just one minute, you haven't been ALL round the world at all (not that you claim to have), so can we hope for a follow up? More countries? More characters in more bars? How about trying to find the most miserable landlord/lady or bar staff in the UK? Lots of candidates in my experience. Ask them to top your pint up (to the pint you asked for and will pay quite a high price for) and watch how they react. And PAGE 358, Status Quo ARE good, so I've deducted a point cos you said they weren't. Other than that, pure genius,. Fancy a pint? >>More Details |

I bought this book for my husband who has been brewing in our kitchen for 30 years.
There is a lot of useful information in this book and it is great for bedtime reading because you can pick it up and browse through a few pages. I marked it down by a star because some of the ingredients are either impossible or difficult to get hold of here in the UK. >>More Details |

This is an excellent book with much useful content and advice. However, it is let down in my opinion by the significant use of statistics from the American Homebrewers Association competitions. I am sure that AHA members brew some fantastic beers but are the ingredients they use in brews aimed at winning competitions really a reliable indication of what defines any given beer style? For example, in the discussion of ingredients used in English Pale Ales Table 16.10 shows that commercial brewers almost always use English hops with Goldings, Fuggles and Challenger dominating as might be expected. However, the statistics shown in Table 16.11 show that AHA members tended to use Goldings, Cascade or Fuggles in that order. The distinctive American Cascade doesn't ... Read More:
