I'll Drink to That

The Big Book O' Beer; the title says it all. I recieved this precious gem as a gift and I am proud to own this intelligent, witty, and surprisingly informative conglomerate of beer facts. For those who consider themselves beer fanatics to those who indulge in a few barley pops every now and again, I highly encourage you to get your hands on a copy of this book. The only thing that excites me more than this book is free beer. Cheers and happy reading:)

Beer is the Answer

A great book for any beer drinker, be he connoisseur, brewer or armchair quarterback. It's a fun read, with anecdotes, history and all your favorite quotes from TV and media. It leaves you wanting more, a feat for books of this nature. Highly recommended to anyone who enjoys either the finest cheap beer to those incredibly bizarre microbrews.
