Andy Hamilton has tried hundreds, if not thousands, of pints from the avalanche of new flavors now available and has convinced commercial, craft and home brewers across Britain to share some of their top-secret best recipes.

With this guide you'll learn how to taste—and talk—beer like the professionals, drink some of the finest ales made in Britain, and find out the secrets of a perfect porter, an irresistible IPA, a super stout and that marvelous mild. An in-depth tour of beer and brewing, this is the essential companion for anyone who enjoys a decent British pint.
