First A Beer a Day, now 1001 Beers to try.
Why should you get another gargantuan coffee table book on beer?
A) We need to encourage more talk about craft beer

Here is what one of the contributors and the editor had to say on a recent thread on the always enlightening Hop Press blog.
Mario Rubio
“I think people are missing why someone issues a book like this. It’s not for the people like us who use RateBeer and such (although many of us are interested in it). This book is for our friends, the ones on the outside looking in. They are the people who will flip through and say “I’ve seen that on tap” or “I can buy that at the grocery store” and start ticking off the beers in the book.”
Adam Tierney Jones
“this is for those who might be slightly intimidated by beer, who are ripe for moving on from Bud, enjoy Sierra Nevada occasionally but wonder what on earth is or who is Dogfish Head”
