Beer Is Proof God Loves Us is a funny,
engaging, and downright joyous examination of the whole world of beer
and brewing. Your guide, Charlie Bamforth, may be the world's #1 expert
on every aspect of beer: After a worldwide search, he was selected as
the first Anheuser-Busch Professor of Brewing Science at the University
of California, Davis. Now, he presents the most compelling social
history of beer ever written: where it's come from, where the brewing
business stands now, and what the future holds. In this far-reaching
book, he reveals
- The extraordinary complexity and artistry that can be found in great brewing.
- The factors that impact beer quality and wholesomeness.
- Centuries-old cultural values embedded in good beer.
Bamforth
also explains what the rise of new craft breweries means to beer
drinkers and what the latest global trends will have on beer
consumption. The book concludes with a look to the future, illustrating
how environmental issues will change the brewing industry and addressing
radical new approaches to brewing, such as Happoshu and malternatives.
