Book excerpt: “The only book you need to understand the world’s most popular beverage. I swear on a stack of these, it’s a thumping good read.”––John Holl, editor of All About Beer Magazine and author of The American Craft Beer Cookbook Imagine sitting in your favorite pub with a friend who happens to be a world-class expert on beer. That’s this book. It covers the history: how we got from gruel-beer to black IPA in 10,000 years. The alchemy: malts, grains, and the miracle of hops. The variety: dozens of styles and hundreds of recommended brews (including suggestions based on your taste preferences), divided into four sections––Ales, Wheat Beers, Lagers, and Tart and Wild Ales––and all described in mouthwatering detail. The curiosity: how to read a Belgian label; the talk of two Budweisers; porter, the first superstyle; and what, exactly, a lager is. The pleasure. Because you don’t merely taste beer, you experience it. Winner of a 2016 IACP Award “Covers a lot of ground, from beer styles and brewing methods to drinking culture past and present. There’s something for beer novices and beer geeks alike.”––Ken Grossman, founder, Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. “Erudite, encyclopedic, and enormously entertaining aren’t words you normally associate with beer, but The Beer Bible is no ordinary beer book. As scinitillating, diverse, and refreshing as man’s oldest alcoholic beverage itself.”––Steve Raichlen, author of Project Smoke and How to Grill

Download or read book Vienna Lager written by Andreas Krennmair and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-08 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vienna Lager is an outstanding example of a revolution in beer brewing that started in the 1830s. When Austrian brewer Anton Dreher travelled to England and Scotland, he learned about British brewing technology that was mostly unknown in Continental Europe at the time.With this knowledge and a lager yeast sample from his friend and travel companion Gabriel Sedlmayr from Munich, he founded a brewing empire that started a revolution of pale, cold-fermented beer across Europe and the world. Thanks to Vienna Lager's popularity in the United States during the 19th and 20th century, it survived even when it had fallen out of fashion in its country of origin and became a classic style that is still brewed and reinterpreted by brewers around the world.The book not only tells the story of this beer type in great detail and dispels many myths around it, it also explains - based on historic sources - which ingredients were used to brew the beer, what the brewing process was like, and what the beer looked and tasted like. The book also comes with a number of recipes that explain how home-brewers can recreate both authentic, historic examples and modern versions of Vienna Lager at home.

Download or read book The Beer Lover s Guide to Vintage Advertising written by Nancy J. Price and published by . This book was released on 2016-09-19 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome, beer lovers, to a time when the brew wasn't only something to be enjoyed, but actually celebrated as a healthy drink that sparked the appetite and helped you sleep. Beer has been made and sold in this country since before it even was a country. In fact, as far back as the 1600s, Manhattan (then known as New Amsterdam) was home to some of the first commercial breweries this side of the Atlantic. Still, it took more than a hundred years before companies regularly advertised their wares. We dove deep into newspaper archives to find hundreds of early ads for beers and brewers - covering the years between the American Revolution and the end of Prohibition - then put them all together to make this picture of the past. With more than 400 individual clippings, hundreds of vintage beer brands are represented! (We have also included a comprehensive index.) Inside, you will see that beer advertisements in the 18th century were often little more than polite invitations to the locals and passing ship captains. In the 19th century, every brand was "celebrated" and "the best" - while some promotional posters showed creepy caricatures loving their drinks maybe a little too much. Advertisers of the 20th century built upon all of those concepts, then added their own spin, slipping in buzzwords like "purity" and "cleanliness," "nourishment" and "food value." All of the authentic antique images in this book were carefully chosen, then digitally restored as much as possible to return them to their original glory. Ads are presented in sections based on the date of publication, so you can easily find a specific era, or simply browse the ads to see how trends and techniques changed through the years. So grab a bottle of your favorite malted beverage, and enjoy this little trip back through time. As they used to say, "After the nervous tension of a day's work, there's no better relaxation than a glass of good beer." Or a book about good beer.
