As much as that has been a driver of the craft beer movement I'd have thought it would get a mention, but maybe it was number 11 on the list :) Ten books on beer and none of them on homebrewing?

Seeing that the cheapest one used on Amazon is $25 it seems to me that somebody should put it back into print. I didn’t realize your book was out of print, Martyn.

I'd agree completely about The Brewmaster's Table: if I write anything about beer and food, I generally confidently write my own opinion, and then sneak a look to see what Mr Oliver thinks … Not counting the one wot I wrote, I've read five out of nine: Wells, Ogle and Mosher are on my "to do" list, and Madelon Powers sound v interesting.

I am surprised to see that I haven't read any of the ones you listed. Thanks for publishing this before my wife finished her xmas shopping :) I have read a shit ton of beer and brewing books over the years, and have found it difficult in recent times to find a book that I haven’t read.

Perhaps a US somewhat unfulfilled Pete Brown in his largely successful attempt to approach beer as cultural activity rather than Aristotelian system. Good for you including Ken Wells.

Personally that sits next to my inherited copy of "The Beer Companion." No love for Garrett Oliver’s “The Brewmaster’s Table?” Personally that sits next to my inherited copy of “The Beer Companion.”
