A highly illustrated book by experienced drinks-journalist Iorwerth Griffiths which is the only book to catalogue the numerous well-known and smaller Irish beers and ciders, as well as some of the increasingly popular new brews from continental Europe.
The Irish public has grown ever more sophisticated and travelled, and with this has come an ever-growing interest in food and drink. We seek out variety and quality products and have become more adventurous and curious in our tastes, both gong out and entertaining at home.
Beer and Cider in Ireland: The Complete Guide by Iorwerth Griffiths is the first publication of its kind to address the indigenous beers and ciders of Ireland as well as the increasing number of eclectic overseas brews that are more readily available.
The book covers all the breweries and cider-makers of Ireland north and south. It encourages appreciation of the different qualities of the beers and ciders, while promoting a sensible attitude to drinking.
In many cases the guide also suggests suitable food combinations to compliment the beer or cider. The history of each brewery/cider maker is presented together with information on visitor facilities. The main beers produced by the brewery are described with tasting notes and details on availability. The final section looks at a selection of imported beers available in Ireland.
About the author: Iorwerth Griffiths has written for Malt Advocate and Whisky Magazine and in the course of his research has met with the major Irish breweries and the growing number of microbreweries, as well as selecting the most interesting of the foreign imports that are widely available now in Irish bars and off-licences.
