8 beer writers, award winning authors, influencers and industry experts have personally selected 250 beers from across the globe that will excite, interest and intrigue you. These beers are all available in the UK from importers, breweries and beer retailers and there is nothing to stop you working your way through them with an individual narrative journey from the authors. “Some beers I’ve chosen speak to me of cities, so vivid, so full of the chatter of strangers, that I can feel the stone beneath my feet as they guide me through their thoroughfares. Others draw me instead to a single patch of countryside, tucked between streams and hedges, where I can feel the pinch of a winter’s night on my cheeks, or the hum of a late summer evening in the sweat on the back of my neck.” – Emma Inch With beers from UK EU N America Africa Australia and more!
