Beerology: Everything You Need to Know to Enjoy Beer…Even More

Beerology: Everything You Need to Know to Enjoy Beer...Even More

Beerology: Everything You Need to Know to Enjoy Beer…Even More by Mirella Amato

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

If you’ve ever experienced the pleasure of a pint, Beerology is the ultimate guide to exploring, understanding and enjoying the world of beer.

THERE IS a beer for every mood, food and occasion. And, with the growing number of beer festivals popping up worldwide, beer is finally getting the attention and appreciation it deserves. For the average beer lover, the overwhelming choices, brewing styles and traditions can be confusing to say the least. Enter beer specialist Mirella Amato – one of only seven Certified Master Cicerones (beer sommeliers) in the world. With an advanced brewing certificate behind her, readers will be in expert hands as they navigate the multifaceted world of beer, guided by Amato’s refreshingly accessible style.

Broken down into fun, easy-to-read chapters, Beerology starts with an introduction to beer and tips on storage and cellaring, then leads into a guide on tasting. Amato presents beer styles in four groups—Refreshing, Mellow, Striking, and Captivating—covering everything from the history and origins of specific brews, to brands that exemplify each type. She then gives tips on hosting beer-tasting parties at home, complete with beer games, and includes a chapter dedicated to beer cocktails (who’s in for a delicious cucumber Pils?). Her original take on pairing beer with food—including chocolate and cheese—is perfect for anyone with an inquisitive mind and an epicurean streak.

The Complete Beer Course: Boot Camp for Beer Geeks [Kindle Edition]

The Complete Beer Course: Boot Camp for Beer Geeks: From Novice to Expert in Twelve Tasting Classes

The Complete Beer Course: Boot Camp for Beer Geeks: From Novice to Expert in Twelve Tasting Classes [Kindle Edition] by Joshua M Bernstein


From the book description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

It’s a great time to be a beer drinker, but also the most confusing, thanks to the dizzying array of available draft beers. Expert Joshua M. Bernstein comes to the rescue with The Complete Beer Course, demystifying brews and breaking down the elements that make beer’s flavor spin into distinctively different and delicious directions. Structured around a series of easy-to-follow classes, his course hops from lagers and pilsners to hazy wheat beers, Belgian-style abbey and Trappist ales, aromatic pale ales and bitter IPAs, roasty stouts, barrel-aged brews, belly-warming barley wines, and mouth-puckering sour ales. There is even a class on international beer styles and another on pairing beer with food and starting your own beer cellar. Through suggested, targeted tastings, you’ll learn when to drink down-and when to dump those beers down a drain.


Kindle Edition books can be viewed on your Kindle Device or on free reader applications available for your iPhone, Android or Windows smart phone – and  for your web browser via Amazon’s Cloud Reader.

  • Dishwasher safe

 

What are others saying?  Search this product’s Amazon reviews for “beer” – affiliate link, note that multiple variations of this product may be available, as such a different version may appear at this link

I have two of these.  They are meant for, well… measuring.  At 5 ounces, they also pull double duty as tasting glasses.  These have been durable for me.  For example, I regularly use mine for espresso shots from my Rancilio Silvia.  Those shots come out at close to boiling and the measurements on the side look like new.  I will say that I do always hand wash these glasses.

These are handy, durable and multi function.  It seems I find myself using these, for something or other, regularly
