Short stories and lots of illustrations in this flavorful book in an amusing and witty way, provides wide-ranging insights into the world of the most important drink in the history of humanity.
Interesting stories from the history, anecdotes and technical information accompanied by drawings, will not make the reader turn into a top beer expert, but it will help him see beer in a new perspective.
Odlična knjiga sa kratkim zanimljivostima i povijesnim crticama o pivu. Upravo zbog toga je prikladna za širi krug čitatelja, budući da temu piva ne obrađuje s tehničke strane (što bi bilo zanimljivo isključivo "zagriženim" pivoljupcima). Način na koji je autor pristupio predmetnoj tematici omogućava brzo i lako čitanje (može se pročitati za pola sata do 40 minuta), te definitivno ima i re-read value. Zbog pristupačne cijene knjiga može biti i idealan poklon kao sto je bila i meni :)
