Amusingly, at the library today I picked up Beer for Dummies. Not because I need to learn more about beer (well, not entirely; beer is one of the few topics I have some in-depth knowledge on), but because I like the “Dummies” books and want to see how well the topic of beer is treated. A quick survey of the contents reveals a decent spread:

• Ingredients
• Brewing and homebrewing beer
• Cooking with beer
• Serving and tasting
• Travel
• Breweriana

Should be an interesting read.
