This book is a must have for anyone looking for a concise list of the current belgian beer market. This book will be no help to beginners. This book is for the expert beer geek who knows his styles and is looking for a list complete w/ pictures to help him find beers in their favorite belgian style. Each beer is listed with the fermentation style, style of beer, brewer, Alc %, color, pouring directions/type of glassware, perfect drinking temp, flavors/tastes, and other minor info...on the other page is an awesome picture of the bottle and proper glassware. The only thing that is off is the size of the book....it's hardcover book about 4 inches thick, 6 inches tall and 5 inches wide. A very weird sized hardcover to say the least. Don't be thrown off by the price @ $30+ it's a steal.
