Big Book of Beer (Camra)by: Adrian Tierney-Jones November 04, 2005 Best Selling > Food and Drink > Drinks and Beverages |

I really enjoyed this book. The writer has done a remarkable job alluding to the historic background to brewing and describing the remarkable variety of brews. I particularly liked the sections on 'local hostelries' around the country, this gave a good insight to the great diversity of beers throughout each region.
I am sure the Mr. Jones would make a great drinking partner in any situation! >>More Details |

Nothing much to add to all the previous reviews, only to say I bought it for my sister but kept it for myself. A very funny, witty book, which I will continue to read and reread. Yes I did laugh out loud quite a few times. Read it for yourself, with a very large mug of tea.

Waste of money. Self-indulgent, parochial, political. Rather buy something on whisky by Jim Murray or the late Michael Jackson. Any book on Scotland by anybody on earth, even if he is from Tierra del Fuego,would be better. And as for the author's friends, his youth, cars and his naive and fashionable politics- who cares and why does he think anybody else would?

For a long time this was the definitive source of information for British full mash home brewers. There are several aspects of it that are out of date and/or unusual, such as overnight mashing (which I never tried) which may have been driven by the generally poor quality of ingredients available at the time. Nevertheless I was able to brew some fantastic beers under its guidance so there is a lot of good stuff in there.

The Wines of Burgundyby: Clive Coates April 02, 2008 Best Selling > Food and Drink > Drinks and Beverages |

I believe this books provides an excellent overview of a very complex region. Few people have such an up to date insight into wine making in Burgundy. The first part of the book provides a detailed overview of wines and wine makers, the second part reviewes the vintages. Indeed, it is unlikely many people are going to taste wines older then a decade, but it still provides much insight into the best wines.

I agree with most of the above comments on this book. It certainly opened my eyes to the exhaustive process of wine making and French Beaurocracy! I certainly shall not quibble about the price of a good wine again!!!
Patricia is a complete inspiration and a very good writer. I am so pleased to see (from her website) that she appears to be going from strength to strength. She describes the people in this book so well that when there is a death, you feel it, and the news that one in particular died made me cry. I shall certainly be buying her next book. >>More Details |

Homebrewing for Dummies, reviewed by a self confessed homebrew dummy. The book as a whole is pretty good. it starts simply and continues slowly building on the information already imparted in the early chapters using easy to follow plain english. If you're starting from the position that you know nothing (except for the fact that you don't want to pay supermarket prices for beer) then this is the book for you.
There are some problems for UK readers in that the measurements are in US, i.e. a pint is sixteen fluid ounces rather than the British Imperial 20 oz, and the knock on effect is that the quart is 36oz and the US Gallon is 22oz (a pint and a bit) less than a standard UK Imperial Gallon. To be fair, the author does point this out very early in ... Read More: >>More Details |
