Simplifying the complex world of beer & brewing

A must read for anyone interested in beer, history and/or culinary arts. I also found that following along with the 2nd edition book helpful, especial later chapters about style.

Road to Cicerone

Basically the text book introduction to beer. Well written and carefully though out by author Randy Mosher did a fabulous job writing this book.

Lots of new info

Great updated information from the first edition. Some of the narrator's pronounciations are suspect, but not from lack of enthusiasm 🍻

audio book. ftw

narrator didn't seem bored like some can with nonfiction. have the book can't find time to sit down. listened to this over 2 days while at work. l am trying to build a better vocabulary for what I'm tasting. food pairings and beer cocktails seem really well thought out. If you like beer at all. this is a good listen. will revisit. in the future for sure

Pronounciation changes

Only thing I didn't like was that the narrator would pronounce the same world 3-4 different ways sometimes. I'm familiar with most of the words but I could see it being really confusing for someone who wasn't. Otherwise it was a fantastic read and well narrated.
