What can beer teach us about biology, history, and the natural world? From ancient Mesopotamian fermentation practices to the resurgent American craft brewery, authors Rob DeSalle and Ian Tattersall peruse the historical record and traverse the globe for engaging and often surprising stories about beer. They explain how we came to drink beer, what ingredients combine to give beers their distinctive flavors, how beer's chemistry works at the molecular level, and how various societies have regulated the production and consumption of beer.

More chemistry and biology than history.

It’s super scientific and technical
Revisado: 08-29-23
I wasn’t ready for the amount of detail this book went into dealing with science (Such as the biological information about how to determine the DNA sequence of different kinds of hops, the chemical makeup of water and how the specific chemical changes it undergoes when during the brewing process, down to an explanation of what the body does with beer in respect to storing fat which reminded me of a university Biochemistry class), but the information ended up being extremely interesting. The first three to five chapters are more of what I was looking for (fun facts about where beer comes from), and the middle is extreme science, and the last chapter ends on that same fun-fact note. I enjoyed it, but the title is a bit misleading.
