Beer Books!

Our Inbox is overflowing with new books on the subject of beer. These two new releases from Randy Mosher deserve a place in your craft-beer library…

MASTERING HOMEBREW

BY RANDY MOSHER, CHRONICLE BOOKS, 2015 The subtitle for Mastering Homebrew is ballsy—“the Complete Guide To Brewing Delicious Beer”—but this blockbuster from Randy Mosher absolutely delivers. The GM of our local homebrew shops saw the book in our office, took it home to read it, immediately ordered a few dozen copies for his shops, and remarked that this book is “the best book ever written about homebrewing.” If you’re a visual learner, Mosher’s clear and instructive graphics are easy to follow and unique among brewing books. From ingredients to equipment to technique to recipes, Mosher not only offers best practices but the philosophy behind the practice, empowering readers to make their own choices.

BEER FOR ALL SEASONS

BY RANDY MOSHER, STOREY, 2015 If you’re a craft-beer consumer more than a brewer, Mosher’s Beer for All Seasons is a month-by-month guide to thinking about beer as a seasonal product. The book’s solid grounding in beer-style history is paired deftly with suggestions for beer-centric meals, high-profile beer events (such as April’s Dark Lord Day), holiday beer recommendations (The Bruery’s Saison de Lente for Easter or a perfect mixed six pack for Father’s Day), radler recipes for summer, fall hops harvest festivals, and more. With entertaining anecdotes, accurate history, a robust calendar of the best beer events, and spoton beer/brewery recommendations, Beer for All Seasons is one of the best craft-beer lifestyle books we’ve seen this year. Randy Mosher will be leading seminars for homebrewers along with John Palmer, Stan Hieronymus, and Brad Smith at Craft Beer & Brewing Magazine®’s Wisconsin Craft Beer Festival this October in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Space is limited—secure your tickets now at Wisconsincraftbeerfestival.com.
