For the Lager obsessed crowd out there, here's a book recommendation.
Dark Lagers by Thomas Kraus-Weyermann and Horst Dornbusch.
Absolutely fantastic book on the history, mystery, brewing techniques, and recipes of this ancient and underappreciated slice of the lager pie.
If you're anything like me, and still love reading about brewing and the culture that brought it forth, and keeps it going, buy this book. I doubt that you'll be disappointed.
