The Australian Beer Companion is an unrivalled book on Australia's thriving beer industry. Separated into state sections, the book covers more than 100 of author Willie Simpson's favourite Australian breweries. These include the big players such as Carlton and United Breweries (CUB), Cascade, Fourex (XXXX) and Coopers, as well as respected microbreweries like Mountain Goat, Little Creatures and Moo Brew. The book traces each brewery's history and their range of beers, and showcases their beer label through a feature called 'Behind the Label'. A glossary of beer styles and a wealth of photos make this book the ideal Father's Day gift.
