Good Beer Guide to Belgium by Tim Webb & Joe Strange

The Good Beer Guide to Belgium by Tim Webb & Joe Strange is now in it’s 7th edition. For more than 20 years, The Good Beer Guide to Belgium has been the go-to reference. I tested this revised and updated version and it passed with flying colors.

I have a well used and notated copy of the 2008 edition (signed by the author no less!) that served me well on 4 different beer pilgrimages to Belgium. You can read about my latest trip hunting beer in Brussels here.

The variety and quality of Belgian beer inspired the American craft brewing revolution. Germany has it’s place in brewing history, but it’s Belgium beer that most touches the heart and taste buds of beer nuts everywhere.

The Guide begins with

Christmas Beer: The Cheeriest, Tastiest, and Most Unusual Holiday Brews (2008)

Beer columnist Don Russell has a passion for Christmas beer that rivals my own. For years, he has hunted up Christmas beers from far and wide, braving blizzards to gather them. He’s put the best finds from his travels in Christmas Beer: The Cheeriest, Tastiest, and Most Unusual Holiday Brews.

This is a 200+ paged color picture book of Christmas beer history, stories, and of course Christmas beers.
