Synopsis: A History of Beer and Brewing provides a comprehensive account of the history of beer and is a fascinating read for all enthusiasts. The book highlights how research carried out during the last quarter of the 20th century has permitted us to re-think the way in which some ancient civilizations went about their beer production, and in doing so covers a time-span of around eight thousand years.

The book is aimed at a wide readership, with the use of original quotations and references enabling the serious scholar to delve into this subject in even greater depth.
