An excerpt from my review: https://thebeerthrillers.com/2023/01/13/book-review-the-little-book-of-craft-bee...

"This is a great little guide book, a primer, an introduction book to help people get into the craft beer community. Melissa Cole even prefaces it as such. She does a good job telling you upfront of what this is, what the book can be used for, who its mainly intended for, and how to basically use and read the book.

The chapters are broken down by beer types; light beers, lagers, dark beers, Belgians, fruit beers, sour beers, etc. Each chapter then proceeds to give roughly ten to sixteen different beer selections of that style (Racer 5 by Bear Republic for IPA, Goose Island’s Bourbon County Stout for big beers, etc.), before moving on to a page or two of a cocktail recipe and a page or two of food pairings.

There is a lot of good examples from across the world in each chapter. Usually a beer or two from the UK, a beer or two from mainland Europe, a beer or two from the USA, and a beer or two from South America, with a few more beers sprinkled in. This gives each chapter a nice, full well rounded look at the beers of that style from around the world. Obviously the book can’t show every IPA or every Belgian or every Sour, but it does a good job of giving you the big name ones that are somewhat readily available. Rather than listing one offs by breweries, she lists flagships and staple beers from the different breweries."...........
