Bookseller Notes

A scarce book, the author obscure, addressed 'both to the serious and to the casual drinker', aiming to give greater prestige to 'a drink which is neither a king nor a prince [...]; but a friend'. In the manner of the voluminous books on wine which, the author avers, outweigh its actual consumption, our host herein provides details of beer's production, the varieties, how and when it should be drunk, its effects, and recommends food-pairings.
