Book "The Great BRAUWELT Encyclopedia of Beer Styles"

Only available in German.

The Great BRAUWELT Encyclopedia of Beer Styles is a unique A-to-Z reference work with entertaining descriptions of almost all beer styles worldwide, from antiquity to the present.

This encyclopedia presents, in a well-organized perspective and engaging writing style, all beer styles from the Old and New World. The origins of brewing in antiquity with Sumerian and Egyptian beers are illuminated, as well as medieval herb beers from a time when hops had barely gained popularity. Then, the highly knowledgeable and historically informed author seamlessly transitions to the present, unfolding the cosmos of traditional beer styles that still hold significance today or have significantly influenced our modern beer styles. The historical knowledge is interspersed with many anecdotes, making the reading of this work a true pleasure. And, almost unnoticed, one finds oneself inspired to create their own beer concoctions from this wealth of information.
