Pre-owned - See photos for condition

Go behind the scenes with the rockstars of the craft beer world.

While many brewing books focus solely on the "how," The Brewer’s Apprentice focuses on the "why" and the "who." Co-authored by Greg Koch (the outspoken co-founder of Stone Brewing Co.), this book functions as a high-level mentorship program in print. Instead of a standard instruction manual, it features a series of in-depth interviews and profiles with eighteen of the world’s most iconic brewers—including legends from Dogfish Head, Sierra Nevada, and Russian River.

Rather than just listing recipes, these masters share their personal philosophies on sourcing ingredients, the chemistry of "extreme" brews, and the nuances of barrel-aging. You’ll find:

Masterclasses: Tips on mastering the perfect pour and designing world-class IPAs.

Insider Secrets: Professional perspectives on mashing, lautering, and yeast management.

Broad Scope: Guidance that extends beyond beer into the realms of craft ciders and meads.

It is less of a "first-day-at-the-kettle" guide and more of a "thinking person's" brewing book, designed to be read with a glass in hand.
