The Oxford Companion to Beer by Garrett Oliver
(2011) A sweeping survey of beer that demonstrates its long history and the many styles that exist today. Oliver is a figure of esteem in the industry and won the James Beard Award for Wine, Beer, or Spirits Professional several times. Typical of the Oxford Companion format, Oliver acted as editor, writing some of the entries and bringing together dozens of colleagues from the world of beer to fill out this volume with over a thousand entries.
