Title: Books - Beer and Food pairing
Post by: Padraic on June 18, 2013, 01:38:53 PM
The new forum has been perfectly timed, I just got a box from Amazon this morning which includes Garret Oliver's "Brewmaster's Table". Does anyone else have any interesting beer tasting books?

I know there are sections in some books, Randy Mosher's "Tasting Beer" comes to mind...

I don't have the book myself, but I believe Stone Brewing's book (http://www.amazon.com/The-Craft-Stone-Brewing-Co/dp/1607740559) has a big focus on food. Or cooking with beer, at the very least.

Looks interesting, it has been added to the list!

It's interesting, in Germany we had beers that were considered good with food, but not specific types of food, they didn't go into it in any detail, but then a pils is considered to be food over there.....

Jever Pils, Krombacher pils and Stauder pils were considered to be good beers with food. Jever especially as it was "herb" or bitter.

Brewmaster's table definitely, although I would feel it does have a bit of a "gentrification" agenda. The bits about cheese and food in Oxford Encyclopedia ( edited by Garret Oliver who wrote BT) were quite good.
