Synopsis:

Develop your palate and become your own beer sommelier.

Beer is now brewed in a dizzying variety of styles, available to enjoy like never before. Let's drink to this diversity with a new appreciation of just how complex and mind-expanding beer can be.
Crack open this book and enjoy a series of guided tastings of more than 50 different beer styles--from smoked black lager to sour-fermented wild ales, triple green-hopped IPAs and cask-matured barley wines. With each tasting, you will learn to identify how aroma, taste, texture, and finish all combine to create the distinctive flavor profile of the particular beer style. You will discover which unique ingredients and aspects of the brewing process combine to produce each style, while quick reviews of the best examples from around the world will lead you to explore further.
To help establish your beer palate, the course starts with a solid grounding in the range of flavors found in beer and the art of detecting them--opening your nose, mind, and throat to the complete sensory experience of flavor and pouring the perfect glass!
Travel through time and across the globe to grasp the ongoing story of beer, its heritage, and its innovation. Also learn how to pair beer with food and to cook with beer. In the end, you always return to what really matters: that miraculous glass of cold, liquid joy.
