Oxford Companion to Beer

My wonderful girlfriend Tamara bought this fantastic book for me and I really can't suggest it enough. Great for reference when studying for the Cicerone (tm) exam or the BJCP as well as just a great coffee-table book (or should I say bar book?).

With hundreds and hundreds of entries and works and references by the biggest names in beer... this is easily the most detailed book on beer every written. Pick it up ASAP
