Synopsis
Beer is the most popular alcoholic drink on the planet, but few who enjoy it know much about how its four ingredients - hops, malted barley, water and yeast - miraculously combine. From the birth of brewing in the Middle East, through the surreal madness of drink-sodden hop-blessings in the Czech Republic and the stunning recreation of the first ever modern beer, Miracle Brew is an extraordinary journey through the nature and science of the world's greatest beverage. Along the way, we'll meet and drink with a cast of characters who reveal the magic of beer and celebrate the joy of drinking it.

"Manages to make you appreciate the magic of beer even in its most everyday form." * TLS * "[Brown] leavens his magisterial tour of fearsome science and vast brewery history with cheery anecdotes, humor, vivid you-are-there prose and a clever eye for personality . . . His rhapsodies about the meaning of life and the meaning of beer are stirring . . . His expertise and insight will leave you with a glimmer of infinity every time you hold a bottle of it in your hand." * New York Times * "Staggering ... Pete Brown's new work has bowled me over" -- Roger Protz, editor of the CAMRA Good Beer Guide "Entertaining, engaging, and simply fun ... Put down your scientific journals and remind yourself what beer is really all about" -- Charlie Papazian, founder of the Association of Brewers "A book full of amazing facts ... combines history, a look at today's vibrant beer world and some very well-explained science about how the four magic ingredients come together to create the world's most popular drink." * Guardian *
