Book Description

"This book is the conversation you and Dave have standing next to the barbecue at the neighborhood cookout ... I can't wait to try these recipes!" - John Palmer, author of How to Brew. "There can be no arguing: beer pairs far better and more extensively with food than does wine. There can be no better example than that given here, with passion and belief." - Charlie Bamforth - The Pope of Foam "It's a rare thing to watch creativity at work. It's seldom neat and often makes you wonder what exactly is going on. ...This book is evidence of how committed he is to his craft and to sharing what he's learned, which is a hallmark of the craft beer industry." - BDB2 - Bev D.
