Ah, beer. Some scientists are saying brewing may predate raising grain for bread. We love our frothing fermented beverage.
And in this wonderful anthology, beer does in fact save the world. It is a set of pretty short stories, none too deep, and always fun. We go from Gilgamesh getting some good advice over a pot of beer from a goddess brewer (all brewers are goddesses, after all) to how IPAs ended the zombie apocalypse, to the noble sacrifice of a cargo of beer to, well, saving a world.
I first bought this in 2013, shortly before my stroke, which explains why I haven't read it until now. Another back of the bookshelf find. But a great one. So pout yourself a cold one, and have a read. Who knows, maybe your beer will help to save the world too!

My story in this anthology is about Gilgamesh and beer. And here is an article on the subject! Amazing.

I absolutely loved working on this anthology, if for no other reason that I had to do a LOT of research.
You know, just to make things perfect.
Anyways, the full text of my thoughts on this is here: http://blog.jonestales.com/?p=1948

A funny collection of stories of all genres, all focused on how beer can, heroically and hilariously, save the world.
