Description
Hear from Jeff Alworth, author of “The Beer Bible” this week on _Beer Sessions Radio. _ No other book of this depth and scope approaches the subject of beer in the same way that beer lovers do—by style, just as a perfect pub menu is organized—and gets right to the pleasure of discovery, knowledge, and connoisseurship. Divided into four major families—ales, lagers, wheat beers, and tart and wild ales—there’s everything a beer drinker wants to know about the hundreds of different authentic types of brews, from bitters, bocks, and IPAs to weisses, milk stouts, lambics, and more. Each style is a chapter unto itself, delving into origins, ingredients, description and characteristics, substyles, and tasting notes, and ending with a recommended list of the beers to know in each category. Hip infographics throughout make the explanation of beer’s flavors, brewing methods, ingredients, labeling, serving, and more as immediate as it is lively. Also hear from Ralph Perrazzo, owner BBD’ and Ed Berestecki, owner of Mugs Alehouse.
“It’s terrible if all you ever do is drink the new thing. You want to go back to your favs! I have probably 20 beers that I absolutely love and every time I see them on a list I want to drink them.” [25:00]

Episode 114: Taverns and U.S. History: Jimmy Carbones talking about taverns on this weeks episode of Beer Sessions Radio. Christine Sismondo, author of America Walks into a Bar, is in the studio to offer s perspective on the importance of taverns as gathering places throughout history. Also in the studio are Ken Tirado of Killmeyers Old Bavarian Inn and Barry Smyth of Fraunces Tavern, two of the oldest taverns in New York City. Tune in to hear about some of the beers at Killmeyers and Fraunces Tavern, the importance of owner involvement in bars, the consequences of Prohibition in the United States, and why its important to keep old tavern traditions alive. This episode has been brought to you by GreatBrewers.com. I dont see the American Revolution happening without taverns. One interesting thing about Prohibition is that people are really invested in the story as something that created more problems than it solved. To some degree, its true, but if you look at the beginning of Prohibiti by Beer Sessions Radio (TM)
