Winner of the International Association of Culinary Professionals' Award for Best Cookbook in the Wine, Beer or Spirits category. Garrett Oliver, award-winning Brewmaster and Vice President of Production of the Brooklyn Brewery, recognized by Gourmet Magazine as a "passionate epicure and talented alchemist", reveals the full spectrum of flavors contained in the more than 50 distinct styles of beer from around the world. Most importantly, he shows how beer, which is far more versatile than wine, intensifies flavors when it's appropriately paired with foods to create a dining experience most people have never imagined. Garrett, along with photographer Denton Tillman, traveled throughout Europe visiting fellow brewmasters to trace the beers of the world to their sources. Back in the States, he met with the star chefs he has advised about beer. The resulting book is a motherload of information, lushly illustrated with Tillman's gorgeous photographs of the world's best beers and the breweries that produce them. Above all, THE BREWMASTER'S TABLE is a new way of thinking about beer - one that will bring this under-appreciated brew to the status it deserves. Whether it's a Belgian wheat beer with a simple salad, a Brooklyn Pilsner to wash down spicy tacos, a pale ale alongside a porcini risotto with foie gras, or even a Framboise to accompany a dark chocolate brownie, beer is the perfect complement to any dining experience, at home in front of the TV or in a four-star restaurant. He explains how beer is made, shows you its fascinating history, and then leads you through the amazing range of flavors displayed by the dozens of distinct styles of beer from around the world. Finally, he suggests beer pairings that will please your tastebuds and blow your mind. Whether you're a beer aficionado, a passionate cook, or just someone who loves a great dinner, this book will indeed be a revelation.

This is quite an excellent book for beginners in the world of beer. When it comes to more accomplished beer folks who also have kitchen knowledge, this book quite bluntly is worthless. I fell for the hype on this one - and I am only glad that I didn't pay full price. Oliver will go into tremendous detail on a specific style of beer, often covering 15-20 pages on its origin, style and representative makers of the style. Then he will leave you with 1-2 paragraphs on what food the beer goes best with. Spicey foods for IPAs - gee, thanks Garrett, I knew that long before I opened your book. In my opinion, a far better use of this book would have included two things: 1. A better balance of beer to food. Talk about and demonstrate the kinds of pairing. 2. Some recipes involving 1-2 complete meals that might go with the beer. Given that Mr. Oliver's beers have most likely often been the centerpiece of many national beer dinners, he must know chefs who would contribute recipes that would be exceptional when paired with different beer styles. Final comment - a few years back, I bought a simple "beer/food wheel". It was rather elementary, but showed what light and/or dark beers would go with certain foods. For 99 cents, it has been a worthwhile tool on occasion for stimulating better pairings. Needless to say, this goofy "wheel" is superior to Mr. Oliver's book. Represented as a Beer book, he would be on target. Bringing in Food as an element for this book is just plain deceptive.
