Annoyingly good. Jonny Garrett succeeds in doing what all good beer writers should: taking a subject that can seem geeky at times and making it compelling to the general reader.
Pete Brown, bestselling author of Man Walks into a Pub
As fascinating as it is funny, <i>The Meaning of Beer</i> is full of revelations about beer's vital role in the world.
Robbie Knox, presenter of JaackMaate Podcast & Soccer AM
Jonny Garrett takes us on a historical, cultural and blissfully hoppy romp through the story of beer. Both sobering and intoxicating, it is far more than a paean to the pie-eyed and is broad enough to travel from Temple Bar to the Thirty Years War. Glass half full.

This is one of the most important books ever written about beer
Mark Dredge, TV presenter and author of A Brief History of Lager

Since its creation 13,000 years ago, beer has shaped everything from architecture and advertising to religion and bioengineering. The people who built the pyramids were paid in ale; the first fridge was built for beer not food;
bacteria was discovered while investigating sour beer; and it was the beer halls of Germany that hosted Hitler's rise to power.
In this highly entertaining beer-lover's guide to world history, award-winning drinks writer Jonny Garrett recounts the incredible human moments and inventions in pursuit of the perfect pint.
