Brilliant! There has been an unfilled market for this type of
book. . . . Happily, this
book . . .is by a wide margin the best reference now available . . .
The
book is very well written. It has a light, almost breezy style that is mixed with a subtle yet attractively understated British wit. It is above all a great read that is hard to put down. T he strongest part of this
book is the discussion of the brewing process.
In summary, Beer: Tap into the Art and Science of Brewing is a brilliant achievement that nontechnical people will find accessible and quite valuable. It is also highly recommended for technical people because it does show how the art and science of brewing can be communicated effectively to a wider audience.
This
book reads like a museum exhibit at a brewery. Everyone like museums and everyone like brewerys. The author lets you see some of the more in-depth processes that are not done directly at the brewery, tells you about how the brewery does things and gives you a general feel for how the industry works.
This Brewing Science/History work is full-bodied, of wonderful
color, of high clarity, and More
Filling. A charming and insightful mix of lay and technical terms describing the entire breadth of Beer processing and historical lore. The
book has a distinctive English flavor to it which results in an added benefit of perspective for any American Brewers library. A very affordable reference work.
