The Beer Bible first edition was named best drinks book by the International Association of Culinary Professionals in 2016.The second edition was published in September 2021, so I was keen to ask Jeff what were the biggest changes in brewing in the intervening years.Hailing from one of my favourite cities; Portland, Oregon, Jeff is also founder of the Beervana blog and podcast, where he and Oregon State University economics professor Patrick Emerson discuss beer and the economics of beer.Now I figure some of you may be unfamiliar with Jeff’s previous work. So I started by asking him, what is The Beer Bible?More must-listen episodes:https://drinksadventures.com.au/2020/08/20/two-paddocks-pinot-noir-sam-neill-on-his-wine-obsession-s6e6/ (Two Paddocks wine with Sam Neill, pinot noir obsessive: S6E6)
