Completely revised, updated, and redesigned to showcase the very best
bottled British real ales now being produced, this guide lists beers by
style with information about each style and recommendations for the best
food matches for each
Everything discerning drinkers need to know about bottled beers is
collected in this pocket-sized guide: tasting notes, ingredients,
brewery details, and a glossary to help the reader understand more about
them. This bottled beer bible, acclaimed by brewers, bottle collectors,
and everyday drinkers, covers all the bottle-conditioned real ales
currently brewed in the UK, with a special section at the front
highlighting the best 500. Features on how real ale is brewed and
bottled, how beer matures in a bottle, and CAMRA's real-ale-in-a-bottle
scheme are provided along with full listings of all bottle-conditioned
beers brewed in the UK, organized by brewery. Useful appendices list the
very best shops and online retailers from which to source
bottle-conditioned real ales. The guide also highlights non-UK bottled
real ales including from the U.S., the best bottled examples of
traditional beers from abroad, and notes on foreign beer styles
