Beervangelist's Guide to the Galaxy: A Philosophy of Food & Drink

Fred Bueltmann, an owner of New Holland Brewing Company is the Beervangelist, an outspoken, fiercely passionate champion of well-made beer and food. His exuberant (and sometimes manic) quest to integrate beer more gracefully than just adding it to bread and soup led to this book. Chock full of mouth-watering recipes and tantalizing photos, you’ll enjoy rants on the culture of cooking, drinking and entertaining. Fred wakes up our tastebuds, educates our palates and remembering that our food and drink are meant to be enjoyed – even relished. The Beervangelist’s Guide invites you on a culinary expedition unlike any other.
