BeerBooks.com: Brewing With Wheat


In his brand new book Brewing With Wheat, author Stan Hieronymus visits the ancestral homes of the world's most interesting wheat beer styles -- Hoegaarden, Kelheim, Leipzig, Berlin and even Portland, Oregon -- to sort myth from fact and find out how the beers are made today.

"Stan Hieronymus has filled a giant, gaping hole in the beer literature with this book. And once again, he has done it with crisp, engaging prose, loaded with rock solid information, much of it directly from those who brew these delicious but technically challenging beers every day."
--Randy Mosher, author of Radical Brewing and Tasting Beer
