Miracle brew : adventures in the nature of beer

Books
Beer is the most popular alcoholic drink on the planet, but few who enjoy it know much about how its four ingredients miraculously combine. We've been brewing and drinking beer for thousands of years, without understanding how or why the brewing process works. In the Middle Ages, yeast was called 'godisgoode' because no one had any idea what fermentation was. Malting barley, too, has for centuries seemed genuinely wondrous: it's only in the last 200 years that science has identified and understood how man and yeast work together to gently persuade this humble grain to give up its sugary stash for fermentation into beer.
