"I am not a busy person or a lover of insanely interesting things, but I do love great bull$hit." - Dev Drake, The Communist Beer Manifesto
So full of beer facts, brew myths, drinking life trends, and history, psychoanalyzed in such an entertaining way, that teetotalers are reaching for the bottle! Written by a non-alcoholic non Bible belter whose beer opinions no one values whatsoever.
THE ONLY BOOK ON BEER YOU'LL EVER NEED TO READ!
Craft drinks are here to stay. Distilling locally made craft products with higher quality ingredients, which arguably started in the United Kingdom in the 1970's and spread to the USA in the 1980's, is now a worldwide phenomenon.
If you are consistently walking into a bar or bottle shop and select your beer based on the page of the Bible you're currently reading or what your less-informed-than-you-think friends advise you, maybe it's a good idea to become a bit more informed. The dividends will pay off in the long run.
How much could it hurt to have some brew knowledge about the art or science (or joke) of modern beer tasting? Or how that semi-pricey Belgian beer you're drinking may really be a local beer in a brew under license arrangement, and if there is a difference between the imported product and the licensed one? What about the right craft drinks to serve at a party? Or, with men, is drinking beer truly a health tip for champions?
BEER & BREW TOPICS YOU'LL WANT TO READ AND LEARN ABOUT
In sixty-two wildly entertaining chapters, none so long that your shortened Information Age attention span has you drifting off, you'll learn a helluva lot of insanely interesting beer bull$hit.
There's actually nothing in this beer book which would qualify as bullsheißa, as the Belgian and German brewmasters prefer to call it. Spread throughout the book are also amazing chapters on what makes each individual craft beer style unique in the distilling process: India pale ales, blonde beers, amber ales, lambics, fruit beers, barleywines. You'll learn the differences between a lager and ale in such an engaging way that you don't feel like falling asleep for a change. There are individual chapters on the beer history and infrastructure of various nations and regions to justify why their beers are traditionally excellent, good, or horrible.
Some of this information you could find on the internet right now. However, much of what you'll read on craft drinks elsewhere qualifies as bullsheißa. When drinking with a lot of men, you'll always hear the conventional story that India pale ales get their name because this was the type of beer, heavily preserved by necessity, that the British exported to their troops in India. This is word-of-mouth bullsheißa spouted so often that people thinks it's true. Other information presented you won't find anywhere else. We compiled the statistics ourselves and drew the brilliant conclusions you can boast as your own to the onlookers you'll soon amaze.
BE CONSIDERED AN EXPERT FROM READING JUST THIS ONE BOOK
Unless you're a sworn tee-totaler, your drinking life today consists of better beers now than it ever has. Wouldn't it be an asset to learn enough in one book so as to be considered, by most, a beer expert and accomplishing the task while you're entertained endlessly on page after page?
There may be more knowledge packed into a thousand page beer bible, but you and I know that you're not going to read one of those, and bibles/encyclopedias aren't renowned for their humor and entertainment value. We have too much information available to us today. We need it curated in an easy-to-understand and interesting way. Therein lies the raison d'etre of The Busy Person's Collection Of Insanely Interesting Beer Bull$hit.
YOU'RE BUSY
We know that. We listened. Here's the answer: a copy of this wondrous read, put on your phone, to dazzle your peers the next time you're on a beer crawl at a fancy Belgian or craft bar.
Cheers.
