Beer: Tap Into the Art and Science of Brewing

This book is definitely biased toward more "traditional" methods of brewing as the author is older and from England where the noble hops seem to reign and everything he says does not fully fit into the context of American micro or craft brewers. So if you don't know about the many wonderful beers made in America that push the boundaries of flavor and balance, this book isn't for you unless you really really like specific data on brewing. This is a great reference resource on the hard data of brewing up until this book was published and can help more knowledgeable brewers expand their knowledge base, but this is not for the home-brewer necessarily.
