Review
"For beer enthusiasts the book is an exciting expedition to the stages of European beer history and the gradual development of the brewing industry. The book can be enjoyed both alone and in company and it tastes the best with a carefully selected beer." (Tyttö ja tuoppi blog .)
"[Down Beer Street] is the most attractive non-fiction book of the summer. But you must be strong-willed when reading it because the bubbling stories tempt you to expand your knowledge." (Matti Komulainen Turun Sanomat)
Book Description
