If you’ve ever experienced the pleasure of a pint, Beerology is the ultimate guide to exploring, understanding and enjoying the world of beer. THERE IS a beer for every mood, food and occasion. And, with the growing number of beer festivals popping up worldwide, beer is finally getting the attention and appreciation it deserves. For the average beer lover, the overwhelming choices, brewing styles and traditions can be confusing to say the least. Enter beer specialist Mirella Amato - one of only seven Certified Master Cicerones (beer sommeliers) in the world. With an advanced brewing certificate behind her, readers will be in expert hands as they navigate the multifaceted world of beer, guided by Amato's refreshingly accessible style. Broken down into fun, easy-to-read chapters, Beerology starts with an introduction to beer and tips on storage and cellaring, then leads into a guide on tasting. Amato presents beer styles in four groups—Refreshing, Mellow, Striking, and Captivating—covering everything from the history and origins of specific brews, to brands that exemplify each type. She then gives tips on hosting beer-tasting parties at home, complete with beer games, and includes a chapter dedicated to beer cocktails (who’s in for a delicious cucumber Pils?). Her original take on pairing beer with food—including chocolate and cheese—is perfect for anyone with an inquisitive mind and an epicurean streak.

When Life Gives You Lemons, Add Tequila and Salt

ISBN: 0615160484
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 159

Book Description
When I was in 5th grade and went to the school social worker for depression. The social worker pointed out to me a little nick-knack on her desk that said "When Life Gives You Lemons, Make Lemonade". As if saying, I just needed to make the best of a bad situation. Sounded like a load of crap to me when I was in 5th grade, and still sounds like a load of crap today. When you are given Tequila at a bar, you can ask the bartender for training wheels (lemon and salt). If you lick the salt, squeeze a drop of lemon in your mouth, and then take a shot of Tequila a funny thing happens. The Tequila isn't as harsh as it was. Doesn't burn when it goes down your throat, or upset your stomach. Being disabled can be like a glass of Tequila. It is painful both sometimes emotionally and physically. However if you can find something from life that you enjoy. Focus on that, rather than the negative aspects of your life. You can begin to enjoy life too.

Beer and Racism

Author: Chapman, Nathaniel
Publisher: Bristol University Press
ISBN: 1529201799
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 228

Book Description
Beer in the United States has always been bound up with race, racism, and the construction of white institutions and identities. Given the very quick rise of craft beer, as well as the myopic scholarly focus on economic and historical trends in the field, there is an urgent need to take stock of the intersectional inequalities that such realities gloss over. This unique book carves a much-needed critical and interdisciplinary path to examine and understand the racial dynamics in the craft beer industry and the popular consumption of beer.

Brewing with Cannabis

Author: Keith Villa
Publisher: Brewers Publications
ISBN: 1938469704
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 216

Book Description
Brewing with Cannabis introduces the convergence of marijuana and brewing in the modern craft beer movement. Explore the varied history of how the cannabis plant became federally illegal and dive into both historic and current laws on decriminalization and legalization of cannabis in the U.S. Learn about the agriculture and biology of cannabis, unique characteristics of the plant, and the similarities between cannabis and hop plants. Find out all that is needed to successfully grow cannabis plants in the comfort of your own home (where state legal). Examine the active components of cannabis and the chemistry of how they interact with beer. Discover how to de-carboxylate THC-A into the fully psychoactive form of THC and learn methods of adding cannabis and CBD to non-alcoholic beer and homebrew for different effects. Delve into how and why the plant produces compounds such as cannabinoids and terpenes, how they function, and how to incorporate them into beer recipes. Both homebrewers and professional brewers will be inspired by a wide-range of extract-based and all-grain recipes they can adopt or use as guidance when creating non-alcoholic beer or homebrew. Designed as a practical guide to use in brewing, the final chapter will inspire readers on how the discovery of new cannabinoids and terpenes may be used in the future. This book will be especially useful to brewers seeking information on the responsible and state legal of use of cannabis in brewing.
