    <![CDATA[Why is wine considered more sophisticated even though the production of beer is much more technologically complex?  Why is wine touted for its health benefits when beer has more nutritive value?   Why does wine conjure up images of staid dinner parties while beer denotes screaming young partiers?    Charles Bamforth explores several paradoxes involving these beverages, paying special attention to the culture surrounding each.  He argues that beer can be just as grown-up and worldly as wine and be part of a healthy, mature lifestyle.    Both beer and wine have histories spanning thousands of years.  This is the first book to compare them from the perspectives of history, technology, nature of the market for each, quality attributes, types and styles, and the effect that they have on human health and nutrition.]]>

    <![CDATA[Charles Bamforth, who has been described as &quot;one of the two or three brewing scientists of his generation,&quot; here gives us a revised and updated version of his definitive guide to brewing.  Bamforth traces the history of beer from ancient Babylon some 8,000 years ago to today's brewing science, recounting important brewing milestones along the way. This new edition contains expansive coverage of global beer styles throughout the world, the sensory character of beer flavor, and the development of the global brewing industry. Each of the staples of brewing (barley, hops, water, and yeast), the fundamental processes of brewing (mashing, boiling, fermentation, maturation, and packaging), and the quality determinants (flavor, foam, color, and clarity) is covered in comprehensive detail. Never losing sight of the central role of science in beer's design and manufacture, Bamforth closes with some predictions about the future of the industry.  Ideal for the beer lover, amateur brewer, hobbyist, and undergraduate alike, The Art and Science of Brewing Beer is the ideal one-volume handbook on brewing beer.]]>

    <![CDATA[Written by one of the world's leading authorities and hailed by American Brewer as &quot;brilliant&quot; and &quot;by a wide margin the best reference now available,&quot; Beer offers an amusing and informative account of the art and science of brewing, examining the history of brewing and how the brewing process has evolved through the ages. The third edition features more information concerning the history of beer especially in the United States; British, Japanese, and Egyptian beer; beer in the context of health and nutrition; and the various styles of beer. Author Charles Bamforth has also added detailed sidebars on prohibition, Sierra Nevada, life as a maltster, hopgrowing in the Northwestern U.S., and how cans and bottle are made. Finally, the book includes new sections on beer in relation to food, contrasting attitudes towards beer in Europe and America, how beer is marketed, distributed, and retailed in the US, and modern ways of dealing with yeast.]]>
