Joshua M. Bernstein Bücher

It's a great time to be a beer drinker, but also the most confusing, thanks to the dizzying array of available draft beers. Expert Joshua M. Bernstein comes to the rescue with The Complete Beer Course , demystifying brews and breaking down the elements that make beer's flavor spin into distinctively different and delicious directions. Structured around a series of easy-to-follow classes, his course hops from lagers and pilsners to hazy wheat beers, Belgian-style abbey and Trappist ales, aromatic pale ales and bitter IPAs, roasty stouts, barrel-aged brews, belly-warming barley wines, and mouth-puckering sour ales. There is even a class on international beer styles and another on pairing beer with food and starting your own beer cellar. Through suggested, targeted tastings, you'll learn when to drink down-and when to dump those beers down a drain.

Covers top trends in beer, including high-alcohol, bourbon barrel-aged, cask- conditioned and even gluten-free beers.

Beer authority Joshua M. Bernstein has culled advice from a slew of other industry experts such as brewers, bar owners and Master Cicerones to create a roadmap to the expanding universe of beer, including detailed advice on buying and pouring, glassware, the rise of cans, new science on flavor and fermentation, how brewers are getting into food, and what the future holds.
