The Beer Bible: Second Edition

This book has so much more to offer than meets the eye. It is very detailed about everything related to beer. If you are a causal beer drinker looking to reference something or a beer connoisseur this book is for you.

As a resident of the Pacific NW, I appreciate Jeff Alworth's dedication to documenting craft beer styles, tastes, and history. With his blog Beervana, you can explore the day to day week to week of Jeff's thoughts on the beer scene, both local to Portland, and nationally.I love how this book is laid out. It is less Michael Jackson "list the beers and provide beer judge tasting notes", and feels more personal. I love Mr. Jackson's books on beer and distilled malt beverages, but since he passed m…any years ago, the beer world needed someone to fill in. Jeff Alworth provides a modern and updated Jackson perspective. Anyone with an interest in beer needs this reference. Highly recommended.

If you’re a beer geek or just want to know more, this is a fantastic book. I highly recommend it.

Almost all of you want to know of beers, is in this book. It was recommended by a friend.

The author knows beer and loves telling you about it. This is a very informative book. Any Beer drinker you know will love to have this book, makes a great gift.

Haven't read any of it personally, but the fact that my husband keeps quoting it makes me think he likes the book.

I loved the first edition so much I gave a copy of the second edition to my son and then bought the kindle version for myself. The book is full of detail on different beers but my favorite feature is that for each type of beer, it offers a few suggestions of beers that exemplify the style. I found myself looking ahead and shopping for the beers in the next few sections so I could drink them while I read the section. It was so much more useful to have the appropriate beer in hand while readin…g.

This book is phenomenal and so well put together and thought out. You do not have to read it from front cover the back cover. You can just open the book up to any page and immediately pick up information. It couldn’t be any easier to understand and the visual examples and pictures are so helpful. I would recommend this book to any beer enthusiast. Even if you think you know a lot about beer, there’s so much more to learn. Would make an excellent holiday gift for any beer enthusiast.

My husband had the first so he needed the second edition

My beer drinking kids loved this book.
