The Best Beer in the World

What’s the best beer you’ve ever tasted? What’s your favourite beer? Where can I drink your ultimate brew? These are questions that beer writer Mark Dredge is always being asked. And he doesn’t have an answer… yet.

This is his search for the world’s best beer. Part city guide, part travelogue and part reference book, The Best Beer in the World takes you on a journey through North and South America, Europe, Asia, and further afield in search of the essential bars and breweries. The book immerses you in the history and beer culture of each region and highlights the key beers to try.

Alongside this are the quintessential beer experiences from all four corners of the globe—whether that’s searching for the best IPAs California has to offer, celebrating Oktoberfest in Brazil, downing fresh Bia Hoi on a scorching day in Hanoi, or heading to Prague to drink unfiltered pilsner from the world’s first lager brewery.
