Fine Beer Reference Books Recommended by Savvy Mom Ruth Paget
I
own two “Go-to-Beer-Reference” books, because I have just started learning
about beers around the world. My interest
in this subject was inspired by living in Stuttgart, Germany for five years.
When
I saw a photo and 2-page spread devoted to Firestone Walker Brewing Company
located in Cambria (Outside Paso Robles, California at the same exit for Hearst
Castle), I immediately purchased a “fine beer book” that had information on
California brew pubs that are patterned after German brew pubs:
The Complete Beer
Course: Book Camp for Beer Geeks: From Novice to Expert in Twelve Tasting
Classes by
Joshua M. Berstein.
This
book contains information that complements (rounds out) information in another
reference book I own entitled:
Michael Jackson’s Beer
Companion: America’s Microbreweries and
Classic Beers from Europe – the World’s Great Beer Styles, Gastronomy, and
Traditions.
I
think California pubs could earn extra money selling those two items for people
who would like to do beer tourism and cook with beer at home.
Germans
braise meat and put 1 pint of Amber (Dunkel) beer in with potatoes to bake for
dinner. I put carrots and celery root in
my version of this dish.
Cheers!!!!
