Grab a cold one and get ready for the ultimate journey into the frothy, sudsy world of beer. This book is not just for hop heads and beer snobs, it's for anyone who has ever raised a pint and thought, 'this is good, but what the hell am I drinking?’ We'll take you on a wild ride through the history of beer, the science behind brewing, and the art of pairing a beer with food. We’ll also look at some great beer recipes, funny quotes, incredible facts, and the basics of home brewing. So, whether you're a seasoned beer connoisseur or a curious newbie, sit back, relax, and let's talk beer!

There are a lot of educational books out there. It’s easy to find, “The-Beginners-Guide-to-the-Complete-Idiot’s-Book-of-Cliff-Notes-for-Dummies”, on just about any subject.  And while they all have their place on the bookshelf (preferably near the bottom), the one thing that separates Barstool Brainiac books from the pack is — our books are funny, fast, and easy.  (Well, that’s three things, but aim for the one in the middle, you silly drunkard). Armed with conversational knowledge about random topics, you may not be the smartest person in the room but, you will be the most interesting.

From the cheap, watery swill of dive bars to the hoppy, artisanal creations of microbreweries, we've sampled it all. But it's not just the taste that we love, it's the culture and camaraderie that surrounds it. The clinking of glasses, the laughter of friends, the stories that are shared over a pint. That's what this book is about. It's not just a guide to different types of beer, but a celebration of the culture that surrounds it. So come, grab a cold one and join us on a journey through the world of beer and become a BARSTOOL BRAINIAC.
