George Wendt (1948–2025)

Mr. Wendt's book is an easy, quick read that is totally enjoyable from start to finish. Now, don't get things confused here by saying that this book is an easy, quick read should not, by any means, connote anything negative. Mr. Wendt comes off throughout the book as an affable, easily likeable character whom I always wanted to hear more about. He seemlessly combines a semi-autobiograpy with an educational tome about beer. What's not to love?! Not only does he come off as an excellent story show more teller I also get the feeling he would be the ultimate drinking buddy. (and I'm not just basing that off his role on Cheers) show less

This is a light breezy read with plenty of photos. Just the sort thing to read after finishing a long book. I hate beer but I like George Wendt. I enjoyed him as Norm in Cheers. This book is half autobiographical and half information about beer. He was more enchanted with beer than school but he seems to be an expert about beer. I like learning about different subjects, so I liked this book. It was very straight forward and Mr. Wendt's love for people including his beautiful wife came through.

I love beer and anecdotes, so this was a great quick read.
