Boutique Beer by Of Biochemistry Ben Mcfarland

Gone are the days when a cold beer was the drink reserved for ballparks and frat parties. Today, microbreweries around the globe are proving that beer is every bit as complex and sophisticated as wine. Their creations range from delicate champagne beers to extreme strength concoctions that are more akin to whisky and port. With names as varied as their flavors -- try Death & Taxes, Knuckle Sandwich or Golden Monkey on for size--these elusive libations are changing the way the world views the humble brewski.

In Boutique Beer, bestselling author and renowned beer connoisseur Ben McFarland scours the globe to showcase 500 of the world's most exciting premium ales.
