I don't mind the odd beer so this "Beer Book" came in handy, listing and reviewing a decent number of beers from around the world.
Although it's a bid odd for a book to have more space dedicated to the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg compared to all of Africa, there are short reviews and ratings of many beers (although in many cases what sounds like a positive review is not matched by its rating; eg. Irle Edsel-Pils "has a very clean palate and is very mild" but only 1 star) and while this 1996 edition is no doubt slightly out of date, it can still provide some use, even if it's just to remind everyone that Emu Export is only worth one star.
