Good primer...good advice...interesting recipes. Not sure I want to go so far as to start mashing my own grains.

Fun, breezy, informative and entirely irreverent. I learned a great deal about different kinds of beer. I'm also relieved to learn that I'm not crazy to think that really hoppy beer smells like skunky marijuana. Apparently that's a good thing in the hop-head world. There's beer made like Champagne, beer which is supposed to be aged in cellars... like any topic, the deeper one delves, the more the topic broadens out and becomes more complex, arcane, and delightful. Recommended.
