Brewed Awakening: Behind The Beers And Brewers Leading The World's Craft Brewing Revolution (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
Brewing ain't no joke.Brewed Awakening covers craft beer from loads of angles. Aside from the lists of beers to try at the end of each section, this book covers the buying, selling, tasting, making, and even cellaring of beers. It's was a great addition to my library considering I learned a lot about the different types of beers and expanded my list of brewed beverages to try.Time to get started! Ever passed by the beer aisle and been drawn to the little-known, but mystical sounding, names and labels? Too afraid to give it a try? Check this book out so you can get a great introduction to craft beer. The author has done his research (what a hard life) and it shows in the product. He doesn't dumb everything down, but he doesn't try to make you feel like an idiot. I feel like this is a great introduction to the movement toward great tasting, unique, regional beers. At the end of each chapter a list of must-tastes are included, giving you a good start to your tasting trek. Toward the end there is a handy glossary and event list so you can check out your local peddlers. Highly recommend as a gift to any student who will be attending Chico State. It discusses Sierra Nevada and makes you feel proud to live so close to such a badass brewery. And yes, most of us do graduate as beer snobs.
