Politics & Prose at Busboys and Poets, Brookland, presents Jeff Alworth to discuss his new book The Beer Bible.
Craft beer is a global movement and Alworth, of Portland, Oregon, lives and works at the center of it. The author of The Beer Tasting Toolkit, a contributor to Draft magazine, All About Beer, and other journals, Alworth, whose blog Beervana, is a trove of information on brews, pubs, and ways to “achieve the transcendent union of malt and hops,” has organized this manual by the different styles of beer, and he gives a comprehensive profile of each, from its history to its ingredients, characteristics, and substyles—not to mention tasting notes, brewing methods, anecdotes, and a list of recommended beers. Ideal for both the novice and the beer geek, this is a book to read, reference, and above all use.
