What the heck is mead, anyway? And which U.S. president proposed a national brewery? GEOGRAPHY: See the world from your La-Z-Boy - tour the world's coolest pubs, visit exotic breweries, and sample the best beers you've never heard of. From Ireland and Australia to the Cayman Islands, we've got your (gl) ass covered.

Plus a five-step programme for sounding like a beer snob. CRAFTS AND GEAR: The coolest beer gear on Earth - from mugs and steins to T-shirts, bottle openers, and goofy hats. Plus instructions for transforming your empties into dazzling arts and crafts. ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT: The greatest beer ads you've never seen - along with classic beer moments in television, cinema, literature, and more. And that's not all. Did we mention the section on classic cheap beers? The recipe for beer-flavoured ice cream? The rules for hilarious drinking game? The guidelines for brewing your own stash? It's time to belly up to the bar and start reading - a wide world of beer awaits you!
