Summary
From an award-winning journalist and beer expert, a thoughtful and witty guide to understanding and enjoying beer
Right here, right now is the best time in the history of mankind to be a beer drinker. America now has more breweries than at any time since prohibition, and globally, beer culture is thriving and constantly innovating. Drinkers can order beer brewed with local yeast or infused with moondust. However, beer drinkers are also faced with uneven quality and misinformation about flavors. And the industry itself is suffering from growing pains, beset by problems such as unequal access to taps, skewed pricing, and sexism.
Drawing on history, economics, and interviews with industry insiders, John Holl provides a complete guide to beer today, allowing listeners to think critically about the best beverage in the world. Full of entertaining anecdotes and surprising opinions, Drink Beer, Think Beer is a must-listen for beer lovers, from casual enthusiasts to die-hard hop heads.

Critic reviews
"John Holl doesn't just offer an ideal primer on beer - he tells you why you should care about it in the first place, with good humor and insight gained from years of experience. For those who haven't had the pleasure of bellying up to the bar with one of beer's brightest, this is the next best thing." (Daniel Hartis, editor of All About Beer Magazine)
"Few people on the planet have spent more time thinking and drinking beer, and as a leading journalist covering the beer industry John Holl has already done much to shape our thinking about the subject. In this must-read book, Holl distills his wisdom and shares everything he's learned." (Jeff Alworth, author of The Beer Bible)
"Holl's good-natured and useful handbook offers helpful tips for the novice drinker, and topics of debate for beer connoisseurs. This is an excellent look at contemporary beer making, marketing, and consumption." (Publishers Weekly)

Cracking book….
Wow, this book is so informative and really easy to listen to. I love that it’s narrated by the author, who sounds like a lovely, open-minded and knowledgeable guy.
If you’re interested in beer then I can’t recommend this book enough - I’m a female, in the UK, training to be a brewer and the content (along with his personal opinions) really helped to build on my foundation of the subject.
He’s the kind of guy that you’d just love to have a beer with! Awesome… have a listen.

I don't write enough of these reviews...
... if I'm honest, but this is an exceptionally good read alongside the book by the owner of the Dogfish Head Brewery. You learn a great deal about beer, a lot about brewing and a lot about what to look out for as a consumer of ale. I will definitely read this again, there so much in it I must've missed some the first time...

Quite interesting
Good listen if you are interested in beer. However it's light on humour and tends to pontificate.
