Reviewed by Dr Beer:Joe Sixpack's new book is a compendious, informative, and entertaining guide to the world's beers. The style is witty and irreverent. Joe likes beer and he wants you to like beer. He makes no effort to awe you with his beer erudition (which is indeed awesome).
The book gives flavor notes, historical anecdotes, interviews with brewers, and check lists of commercial examples of 51 styles of beer. Each gets about four pages. But there is more fun and useful information in those four pages than you can get in whole chapters of "serious" beer books. Joe makes you feel as though you can taste the beer. All this without a single photograph of a beer label, a tap handle, or a bar maid.
Everyone who cares about good beer will enjoy What the Hell am I Drinking
