Stephen Beaumont

Stephen Beaumont is one of the world's most authoritative voices on beer today, as well as a widely recognized writer on spirits, food and travel.

As co-author of both 'The World Atlas of Beer' (2012), published in eleven international editions, and two editions of 'The Pocket Beer Guide' (2013 & 2014), Stephen has amassed an unparalleled understanding of what’s going on in the fast-paced and expanding world of beer today. If there is good lager or ale to be had, whether in San Francisco or Singapore, Montreal or Milan, Stephen knows about it, and has most likely sampled it!

In addition to The World Atlas of Beer and The Pocket Beer Guide, Stephen has authored or co-authored eight other books, including the forthcoming 'Beer & Food Companion' and two editions of 'The Great Canadian Beer Guide,' as well as contributing to nine others, including the immense '1001 Beers You Must Taste Before You Die'; the literary tribute to legendary drinks writer Michael Jackson, 'Beer Hunter, Whisky Chaser'; and the recently released 'Handbook of Porters & Stouts'.
