But as diverse as the drink is, its appeal is universal--beer is the most-consumed alcoholic beverage in the world. From ballparks to restaurants, bars to brewpubs, this multihued beverage has made itself a dietary staple around the globe. Celebrating the heritage of these popular libations in this entertaining tome, Gavin D. Smith traces beer from its earliest days to its contemporary consumption. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e While exploring the evolution of brewing technology and how it mirrors technological changes on a wider economic scale, Smith travels from Mexico to Milwaukee, Beijing, Bruges, and beyond to give a legion of beer brands their due. He then delves into the growth of beer-drinking culture and food-beer pairings and provides information on beer-related museums, festivals, publications, and websites. He also provides a selection of recipes that will be enhanced with the downing of a glass or two of the amber nectar. Containing a wealth of detail in its concise, wonderfully illustrated pages, \u003ci\u003eBeer\u003c\/i\u003e will appeal to connoisseurs and casual fans alike.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Reaktion Books","offers":[{"title":"Beer: A Global History | Gavin D Smith | Hardcover | 9781780232607 | Used: Like New | History 1679212","offer_id":50795909873922,"sku":"1679212","price":32.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/51DKJ_AmVYL.jpg?v=1792375950","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/beer-a-global-history","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
