Brewing craft and artisan beer has become a labor of love for enthusiasts and epicures the world over, with new people joining the ranks every year. The Brewer’s Apprentice is a behind-the-scenes guide to all aspects of this ancient art. However, instead of simply sharing brewing recipes, tasting guides, or buying recommendations as many other books do, our book gives readers unique insights into craft brewing culture, and lets the “masters” share their own expertise. In a series of in-depth profiles, the legends, innovators, rising stars of the beer world share their deep reserves of brew knowledge, insider tips, recipes, and more. Inside you’ll learn: sourcing the best ingredients, brewing “locally” and seasonally, farm-totable brewing, fine-tuning your home-brewing skills, brewing chemistry, nontraditional ingredients, and extreme brews, meads, lambics, ciders, and other classic brews, and barrel-aging beers.
