2,5/5. The title says it all. Tips and trick to do with beer. Some are just stupid, kind of I don't know how to reach 100 so I will boost it up... Some are interesting and kind of new/original. And finally some are just «everybody knows that». I didn't have much expectation but I was still a bit disappointed. I just don't really see a good public for it... maybe teens/young adult boys could find it funny and learn a bit from it... but still... I certainly not a necessity in this world!

It’s a fun, short read. Take it for what it is, which is a collection of silly, admittedly mostly useless, though sometimes interesting beer “tips”, and you should enjoy it. It helps that this was a gift from my mother-in-law and I didn’t pay anything for it!

Clickbait in book form. No more than a couple of blog posts slapped together.

Nothing in here sparked my interest. There's a lot of basic stuff most beerlovers have heard or seen a thousand times. Ways to open a bottle, to cool beer quickly, how to store and what not. A handful of recipes for cooking or cocktails and some stupid stuff like things you can clean with beer or rinse your beerpong ball before playing.

It's obviously not meant to be too much of a serious trope about beer but i'd at least expected a couple of interesting tricks of facts. I admit i chuckled once or twice but overall i found this book useless and not at all that funny. On a positive note, it'll take you about an hour to finish the whole thing.

Short, fun book with lots of fun things and very useful tips on storing, serving temps, and infusing suggestions. The beginning of the book is off the wall hacks that appear to be useful, but I think are hilarious as presented. The author has a great sense of humor that he continually inserts into the flow of information. If you love beer, you will have fun with this book. BTW, it comes with a beer opener embedded in the corner.

I picked up Beer Hacks: 100 Tips, Tricks, and Projects from my local library thinking my son would enjoy reading it. I certainly did! It's clear the author, Ben Robinson, had great fun researching and writing Beer Hacks: 100 Tips, Tricks, and Projects. Some of the hints are a hoot. If you know a beer afficionado this would be a great and fun gift!

A few of the tips are good but most of them are either obvious (serve beer chilled to improve the taste) or something nobody would ever need to do (basically the whole bar tricks chapter). Also the bottle opener that came with the book sucks.

Good idea for a creative gift for fathers day. Ben shows tricks related to beers that are sort of way creative. The WEDDING RING method to replace a BOTTLE OPENER made my day.
