When I ordered this book, I was hoping there would be more information about how beer each type of beer is made, the specific brewers, and information like that. Instead, 90% of the book is color photographs of beers from different brewers around the world with a little history and brewing information thrown in. Good for graphics and a nice coffee table/bar book.
