I am currently reading Tasting Beer, and I have found it to be a very informative and entertaining read. I’ve already learned a lot of new vocabulary to describe beer, as well as useful information on how to present beer, including serving temperature and glassware. I’m about to start the section on pairing food and beer and I am particularly excited about that topic. That’s one area I definitely want to learn more about.
