There have also been some highly innovative technical developments, many of which have led to the sophistication and efficiency of 21st century brewing methodology.
'A History of Beer and Brewing' covers a time-span of around eight thousand years and in doing so:
- Stimulates the reader to consider how, and why, the first fermented beverages might have originated
- Establishes some of the parameters that encompass the diverse range of alcoholic beverages assigned the generic name 'beer'
- Considers the possible means of dissemination of early brewing technologies from their Near Eastern origins
The book is aimed at a wide readership particularly beer enthusiasts. However the use of original quotations and references associated with them should enable the serious scholar to delve into this subject in even greater depth.
