The Naked Brewer

This is a perfect book to for anyone who is a fan of artisanal beer and homebrewing. I personally am a huge fan of the Honey Chamomile Blonde beer that these two incredibly talented ladies have developed, and now I can learn to brew it myself at home. Their philosophy of using fresh and local ingredients to create delicious recipes is perfect for the artisanal craft movement evolving today. --Shiva Rose, actress and founder/writer of www.thelocalrose.com The Beer Chicks' unique approach to homebrewing is a breath of fresh air. They make it simple, accessible, and fun--as beer and brewing should be. --Joel Elliott, co-owner and brewmaster at Strand Brewing Company It is almost impossible not to have fun when you're hanging out with the Beer Chicks. Leave it to Hallie and Christina to take the intimidation out of the brewing process and inject that sense of mischievous adventure that seems to follow them everywhere. Whether you're a curious newbie or a stone-cold veteran brewer, you will find it almost impossible not to have fun with this book. --Jeremy Raub, cofounder and head brewer at Eagle Rock Brewery As with cooking, learning to make great homebrew requires finding mentors whose palates you can trust. Christina and Hallie know beer and know how to help you find your own palate and turn your desires into a frothy beverage you can be proud to serve as your own. How fantastic that their zest for sharing a passion for the world's most accessible drink now reaches into your own kitchen! --Evan Kleiman, host of KCRW's Good Food About 9 years ago, I was under the mistaken impression that beer was one-note and boring. Christina and Hallie opened my eyes, introducing me not only to my favourite beer in the world, but also to the notion that real chicks drink (good) beer. And now it's pretty clear that real chicks also brew it. There's no one I'd trust more to walk me through the art and science of brewing a cold one! --Aarti Sequiera This is a perfect book to for anyone who is a fan of artisanal beer and homebrewing.
