Great Beers of Belgium, Round 6
Brewers Publications, a division the Brewers Association and publisher of Brew Like a Monk, recently released the sixth edition of Michael Jackson’s Great Beers of Belgium.
This is a major upgrade from the third edition, the last that was generally available in the United States, because Jackson was particularly passionate about Belgian-brewed beers and relentless about making his work as up to date as possible.
A BA press release points out the “updated version contains listings covering 326 different beers across 13 style groups, on more than 500 pages of text and enhanced with nearly 800 color photographs.”
I haven’t seen V6 — we’ve been in Europe since beginning of September — but the last time I looked at V5 I was still astonished at how new the parts I’ve practically memorized seem and how much more new information Michael packed in.
Quite simply, this is a book that belongs in your library.
