In 2008 , The Complete World of Beer Styles was published by All About Beer Magazine as a special issue. Based on the collected writings from our “Stylistically Speaking” column that readers have enjoyed for many years, it was highly praised amongst beer enthusiasts. It quickly became a resource for those just getting their palate honed on craft beer, a guide for homebrewers to expand their repertoire , as well as a reference for the more seasoned craft beer drinkers.
