Dictionary of Beer and Brewing
Author: Dan Rabin
This treasury of 2,500 definitions is the most comprehensive and up-to-date dictionary on beer and brewing terms ever published in English. The completely revised and expanded edition of the dictionary includes concise, clear definitions, glossary-style pronunciations for every word, arcane terms and historical references, conversion tables--plus more than 400 terms that appear for the first time in this second edition.
The Dictionary of Beer and Brewing in its first edition was recognized as a definitive reference text in its field; it has now been substantially improved.

Even those who know pretty much all they want to about the subject will be very pleased now and again to find out how to pronounce words they have seen written for years, and perhaps heard as well without connecting the two. The entries include ingredients, equipment, creatures good and bad, processes, festivals, commercial terms, types of beer, measurements, organizations, acronyms, and other topics. They are well cross-referenced. Conversion tables and other data are appended. A substantial preface summarizes the history of beer. No date is noted for the first edition.

Beginning with the accounts of Marco Polo and Franciscan friars who traveled to the East, and concluding with the relatively recent phenomenon of Chinese restaurants, it will appeal to food historians and specialists in Chinese culture, as well as to anyone interested in Chinese cuisine.
