As craft beer continues to win over Australian hearts and palates, a new book sets out to debunk the myth that the best place for a beer is sitting on your couch watching the football. As microbreweries spring up around the country, the latest edition of the Beer Lovers Guide to Australia shows that while beer can be enjoyed anywhere, it can be worth travelling to savour at the source while discovering the story behind the brew. Editor Matt Kirkegaard said that while wine has always had a sense of place that lent a touch of romance to a journey to taste it at the source, beer has often suffered through being perceived as a more industrial product. Thats changing and, with the rise of small and regional breweries, people are discovering that it is well worth visiting breweries too. Beer can have a sense of the place that it is made. It can also reflect the personality of the men and women who make it and that is well worth discovering. He said people are also discovering that the journey isnt just one of distance, but one of flavour. Where beer drinkers have largely been constrained to one style presented a hundred slightly different ways, they now have real choice.
Aided by a new generation of brewers who refuse to be constrained by the limits of what we expect from beer, Australians are becoming more aware that they can, in turn, expect a little more from it. The 2011 Beer Lovers Guide to Australia is every beer lovers indispensable source for information about beer and breweries, how to get there and why you should go. A team of Australias most passionate beer writers, educators and enthusiasts set out to challenge notions that only wine is worth travelling to enjoy at the source; perceptions that beer is a beverage mainly for blokes, and the belief that the best beers are ones that are cold, crisp and able to be consumed by the carton.
