Am I attempting to read every beer book ever? It seems like it. This one is informative, but poorly written. I actually despise the font, as well, something I never say. T’s and l’s don’t have tiny right-swoops at the bottom. Not in my world they don’t.

One of my first beer books. It a great spot to start giving information about a little bit of everything. Also a good resource for recipe planning.
