Fifty To Be Precise

I am a sucker for a beer book.  I am pretty much a sucker for books, especially if there is a clever hook. I just bought Eoghan Walsh’s Brussels Beer in Fifty Objects. 

Mostly because the hook is that instead of a narrative or another summary of the brewing process, this is about Brussels and beer told via beer related items.

Sorta like telling a history of the Anderlecht Football club through their jerseys.

Full review to come later, I have a lot of books in line to get through.

In Brussels

Want to get a historical and business look at a famous beer city? Well, the Irish expat writer Eoghan Walsh deep dives into the full Brussels scene in his new book, Brussels Beer City.

Here is the elevator pitch, “For the first time in English, award-winning writer Eoghan Walsh brings to life in this collection of stories the family dynasties, the brewers, the activists – and the stories behind them – that have made Brussels a world capital of beer and brewing.“
