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.

More like lazy textbook

This book is a complete disappointment to its title. I was expecting to be educated on beer use throughout time and in different societies, instead the bulk of the book is a summary of one year of college physics, biology, and chemistry courses. The last chapter was interesting, yet the entirety of the book felt unorganized and lazy. Great idea, but its essentially a podcast episode with hours and hours of scientific filler. Moreover, the speed of which the scientific concepts are presented don’t leave the listener with any satisfaction, as concepts are presented and finished in one sentence. Highly recommend skipping this title.
