Tom Robbins' first fiction in five years (and perhaps his most audacious ever), B is for Beer explores various aspects of beer culture - ancient, modern, and otherworldly; brutal, infantile and divine - and dramatises the surprising things that happen when the life of a feisty nursery school kid named Gracie Perkel intersects with each. Billed by Robbins as 'the first children's book about beer', this inspired work taps into the barrel of life's existential mysteries and is truly meant to sit proudly with his other novels in grown-up literature sections.

Es war einmal auf einem Kindergeburtstag … Das Ding war kaum größer als eine Geburtstagskerze und hatte durchsichtige Flügel. Mehr fasziniert als beunruhigt fragte Gracie: «Wer um alles in der Welt bist du denn?» Offensichtlich erwartete sie keine Antwort. Stell dir also ihre Überraschung vor, als das Wesen mit winziger, glockenheller Stimme erwiderte. «Was glaubst du wohl, ein Zeuge Jehovas etwa? Oder sehe ich aus wie eine Pfadfinderin, die Kekse verkauft?» Und noch ehe die verwunderte Gracie auch nur den Mund aufmachen konnte, fuhr es fort: «Ich bin die Bierfee, verdammt nochmal!»
In "Birmingham Beer," Carla Jean Whitley explores the city's brewing history, from its early saloons to the devastating effects of Prohibition. Despite a brief revival in the 1990s, restrictive laws hindered growth, leading to the closure of all Birmingham breweries by 2004. Whitley highlights the fight for local beer's resurgence.
From the early days, and long before Americans had ever heard the term "craft beer," settlers in the Bayou City excelled in the art of ales, stouts and lagers. In 1913, it was a Houston brewery that claimed the distinction of "the world's finest bottled beer" after winning an international competition in Belgium. The unfortunate rise of Prohibition put the industry on hold, but recent years have seen a strong resurgence. At the beginning of 2008, Saint Arnold Brewing Company was the only craft brewery in Houston. Just a few years later, there are five and counting within an hour's drive of downtown. Journalist and "Beer, TX" blogger Ronnie Crocker chronicles Houston's long and surprising history of brewing, tracing everything from the grand legacy of Anheuser-Busch to the up-and-coming craft beer makers and those brewing it right at home.

“The only book you need to understand the world’s most popular beverage. I swear on a stack of these, it’s a thumping good read.”––John Holl, editor of All About Beer Magazine and author of The American Craft Beer Cookbook Imagine sitting in your favorite pub with a friend who happens to be a world-class expert on beer. That’s this book. It covers the history: how we got from gruel-beer to black IPA in 10,000 years. The alchemy: malts, grains, and the miracle of hops. The variety: dozens of styles and hundreds of recommended brews (including suggestions based on your taste preferences), divided into four sections––Ales, Wheat Beers, Lagers, and Tart and Wild Ales––and all described in mouthwatering detail. The curiosity: how to read a Belgian label; the talk of two Budweisers; porter, the first superstyle; and what, exactly, a lager is. The pleasure. Because you don’t merely taste beer, you experience it. Winner of a 2016 IACP Award “Covers a lot of ground, from beer styles and brewing methods to drinking culture past and present. There’s something for beer novices and beer geeks alike.”––Ken Grossman, founder, Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. “Erudite, encyclopedic, and enormously entertaining aren’t words you normally associate with beer, but The Beer Bible is no ordinary beer book. As scinitillating, diverse, and refreshing as man’s oldest alcoholic beverage itself.”––Steve Raichlen, author of Project Smoke and How to Grill
Louisville, known for its bourbon, also has a rich brewing history, rivaling cities like St. Louis. German settlers introduced brewing traditions, and after Prohibition, brands like Falls City and Fehr's emerged.
