Acidic beer book but with acidic market price
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
So my first thoughts on buying this were why is this great book out of print? Is a $13 book worth the now hyped up $45- 55. It's a great book. It's focus is more to the wild Lambic/ Gueuze style beers, with little on the Oud Bruin and east Flanders red and Brown sour beers. Hopefully it will come back into print, for the masses, certainly with the sour beers becoming more and more popular. With this in mind, if it does not go into print again, it may only become harder and more expensive to buy. Maybe buy "Wild Brews" by Jeff Sparrow, this aslo is a awesome book, but at a fair price.
Too bad its out-of-print

Excellent book on the history and chemistry of brewing Lambic beers. Unfortunately it is out of print. Too bad it looks like Brewers Publications isn't ever going to bring it back.
a must

If you are planning on brewing lambic beers this book is just about a must. There is a ton of information here and it will get you started on makeing one of the hardest styles of beer to brew at home.
technical, but useful and informative

Guinard is too technical in spots, and those chapters go right over my head. Otherwise, this is a good introduction to brewing these rare brews. One thing is needed, a list of sources for the unusual ingredients, like aged hops. Altogether a good and useful treatise
