Michael Jackson's Great Beers of Belgium
BK425
The classic, definitive guide to enjoying Belgian beers! Michael Jackson, who passed away in 2007, had spent 15 years researching each beer listed in this book (now that is what we call research!), and had spent some time updating it shortly before his death. This 6th edition is the first printed since 1998, and includes over 300 pictures and updated text. Great Beers of Belgium walks you through some of the World's most creative and structurally deep beers ever to have been produced.
Jackson doesn't simply tell you what a beer tastes like - that would be too easy for him. Rather, he chooses to help you fall in love with the simple things, like the shape of the bottle, the different styles of glassware, the quality of ingredients. Then he moves into the body of beer - the taste, color, aromas. If you are passionate about Belgian Beers, this book will push you over the edge.
Jackson's knack for providing the reader with flowery yet highly descriptive insights to beer is the reason he is so highly revered in the beer world. His passion for tasting beer and writing about it convinced a generation of homebrewers to create their own tasty beverages.
