Publisher Notes
Never buy a bad beer again. First published in 1995, THE BEER LOVER'S RATING GUIDE is now completely revised and updated. Why? Because breweries have come, breweries have gone. The U.S. industry, particularly among the brewpubs and microbreweries, is finally settling down, while more and more international beers are available. And the author himself has more than doubled the number of beers he's tasted since the first edition of the book-his personal list now approaches the 3,000 mark.
User-friendly, easy to read, and written to encourage discovery rather than pre-select what's tasty and what's not, here is a portable rating guide to over 1,500 American and imported beers. It is a true labor of love-Robert Klein tastes and rates them all, on a scale of 0 to 5: Southwark Premium Pilsener (Australia, 4.1), Negra Modela Dark Ale (Mexico, 3.5), Aass Bock (Norway, 3.2), Bridgeport Old Knucklehead Barley Wine (USA, 4.0), Timmermans Peche lambic (Belgium, 3.3), Xingu Black Beer (Brazil 4.5), Golden Pheasant lager (Slovakia, 3.9). There's the best beer he's ever had-still the deeply roasted, tantalizingly bitter Rogue Shakespeare Stout (Oregon, 4.8). And a bevy of beers to avoid-the faintly sulfurous, distinctly unpleasant La Jolla Pumphouse Porter (California, 0.0), or the "tastes like aftershave" Desperados (France, 0.1). In addition to the main alphabetical listing, the author discusses beer with food, and lists best and worst beers by state and by country.
