satyridae's review
2.0
I found the writing style rather off-putting. It felt ragged in many places, though I'm not entirely sure I can be more specific. Little fact-checking errors (that photograph is for SURE not from the sixteenth century, I promise) and grammatical infelicities detracted from my immersion in the book. I thought we hopped around a little too much. (Yeah, hopped around... I crack me up.) I didn't get a real feel for the individual brewers, and I didn't get a clear picture of the process either. Interesting but not compelling.

Nope not forcing myself to finish. This writing has no attention to details, historical inaccuracy and is simply not compelling
