Anybody who knows me knows I love books. So much the better if they’re about beer. I’ve had a number of books on my wish list for a while that I just got as a gift. I can’t wait to read them.

The Beer Journal by Chris Wright (not so much a book to read as a book to record the beers I try. My beer geekiness is complete. In my defense, though, there’s a lot of information about tasting beer and beer styles.)


New Jersey Breweries by Lew Bryson and Mark Haynie (I felt that as a native New Jerseyan that this is a book I needed to have.)


Ambitious Brew: The Story of American Beer by Maureen Ogle (I read lots of positive reviews about this book.)


The Brewmaster’s Table: Discovering the Pleasures of Real Beer with Real Food by Garrett Oliver (Pairing beer and food is the new nirvana.)


What beer books did you get for the holidays?
