Anybody who knows me will know that I am a slut.
A beer book slut.
I cannot resist a book on beer or brewing. In the last couple of years, since the brewing bug really bit, I have developed a collection nearing a hundred titles.
Most of the time this has been hard work. Hours spent scouring the internet, sometimes when sober. More hours wasted fruitlessly visiting bookshops in the forelorn hope that the wine and beverages section will not be limited to wine, cocktails, shooters, coffee, detox recipes and the health giving antioxidant benefits of grean tea.
Now, I have actually found a store that meets my bibliomaniacal needs. If only I had any books left to buy :angry: .
If you live in Adelaide, or are visiting, and you have some discretionary cash to spend on brewing literature, I would strongly suggest a visit to the Dymocks store in Rundle Mall.
How is this for a list of titles on sale? Correct as at yesterday morning:
Daniels: Designing Great Beers
Mosher: Radical Beers
Nachels: Homebrewing for Dummies (don't scoff, this is actually quite a good book)
Lines: Big Book of Brewing
Papazian: Microbrewed Adventures
Noonan: New Brewing Lager
Palmer: How to Brew (Vol 3 no less!)
Simpson: The Beer Bible
Oliver: The Brewmaster's Table
Sparrow: Wild Brews
Hieronymus: Brew Like A Monk
Markowski: Farmhouse Ales
For a generalist bookshop, that is a pretty impressive inventory. It certainly sh&ts over the multinational chain further along the mall (their selection borders on the non existent), and the store is locally owned and managed. The guy who runs it is a tall silver haired guy called Bruce. His wife makes sure the brewing books stay stocked. The rest of the staff are friendly and cluey. If you call in, by all means say hello and tell them the wee scottish brewer sent you.
Meanwhile, if anyone else knows of a good source of brewing books (the Caloundra public library somehow springs to this mind ) please add them to this thread.
Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with Dymocks in Rundle Mall.
I have dreams of them sponsoring ANAWBS, which I am deeply affiliated to.
But, heh, we all have the right to dream.
awrabest,
stu
edit: Papazian book title corrected
