Fifty Places to Drink Beer Before You Die: Beer Experts Share the World's Greatest Destinations

This book arrived on time and was nicely packaged. It is super complete and very interesting reading. Thank you.

Great gift book

Given as a gift. Beautifully presented. Interesting places across the world that you would otherwise never know existed!

Pretty fun little book. I expected more information on breweries and pubs and places to visit, but over all, not disappointed.

Not all 50 places are great beer places. The write-up for Austin is particularly disappointing.

Fine

This book caught my eye because Gord and I enjoy beer and we attend a lot beer festivals. I was curious to find out where, according to beer experts, the 50 places to drink beer before I die are.The destinations are scattered across the globe from A to Z ... from Birmingham, Alabama, when a grassroots advocacy group called Free the Hops, a nonprofit group that was lobbying to reform that state's beer laws to enjoying a cold beer along the banks of the Zambezi, Zimbabwe, with the sun setting, hippos grazing and the flat plain beyond teeming with animal life. I was happy to see there were three destinations in Canada ... Lake Louise, Vancouver Island and Montreal.Various people closely connected with the brewing world were interviewed to discuss their favourite spots and experiences. They include craft brewing pioneers, beer writers and athletes. They describe not only pubs and breweries, but also regions that have a thriving craft beer culture or activities (such as beer festivals and the Beer Mile where runners drink four beer and run four laps) that are complemented by beer.There are full-colour pictures throughout. At the end of each destination, there is a "If You Go" information which includes phone numbers, websites, how to get there, etc.This book made me put 50 places to visit on my bucket list! Dieu du Ciel in Montreal is listed and we went there last year and it was great. I'll have to check out the other places listed for Montreal someday too.Blog review post: [...]

Fifty Places to Drink Beer Before You Die by Chris Santella and published by ABRAMS last Sept 20th is the most amazing, wonderful, extraordinary trip you can do in the world of...Beer!Practically every corner of the world is covered, and like says in the foreword Jim Kock founder of the Boston Beer Company and Brewer of Samuel Adams: "This book will inspire you to keep your favorite beer and suitcase."Extraordinary, many States of the USA visited by the author, like many foreign places.Germany of course, Austria where beer is a national monument, Prague, where beer is the beverage more drunk pro capite every year (and the place where beer is also more drunk of the entire world.)Northern Italy. Although wine is the favorite alcohol beverage there are many estimators as we call them here of the "blonde."Ireland with Dublin. Great old tradition.Different kind of beers, different situations.Some of the people who started a brewery for example in Birmingham Alabama or other corners of the world told that beer was not a known alcoholic beverage at first, but that slowly slowly thanks to their passion it was possible to build interesting realities.Impossible to believe but the same London affected by a terrible beer since at recent times, when pubs decided that maybe it was better to give a best local product. At the moment many breweries are able to give a good beer.Beer is synonymy of smiles, company, good time spent together.This book is extraordinary and will let you discover in Australia, New Zealand, Europe, USA, but also in Zimbabwe what beer means.A wonderful trip and wherever you will stop by... a great pint of beer!Wonderful gift for Christmas!I thank NetGalley and ABRAMS for this book.

Bought as a present for my son. He really loves it. As someone who wants to travel and loves craft beers it's perfect.

Lives up to its name.
