A lot of great information on everything about history styles and making of beer

Fun but felt like is was too basic for anyone who's motivated to read a book on beer. There aren't even clear explanations of what the different kinds of beers are; I felt a topic was often being written around instead of written about. I'm trying The Beer Bible next.

Broad strokes, light on detail, quick read. Probably not good for newcomers, too simple for oldcomers, not even something ai would pull out to explain something to a visitor. And be warned…scratch and sniff doesn’t work in the digital edition {grin}.

A very broad overview of beer in general. Lots of pictures and great basic information. Some of my stickers were duds and offered no smell though.
