“A well-informed, well-written and highly personal look at drinking beer in two dozen of the greatest cities in Europe. …If you love beer and want to know where to go in Europe and what to drink and eat, you will find no better guides than Bob and Ellie Tupper.”

Martin Morse Wooster, MidAtlantic Brewing News

“If you like craft beer and if you are interested in travel to Europe, you will love this book. Bob and Ellie Tupper have compiled a personal database of over 25,000 beers and have developed their own award-winning beers with regional brewers. They know their beers as well as anyone anywhere. They have also been travelling extensively around Europe since the 1970s. Their book is the perfect guide to the beer culture of 24 European cities in 10 countries, and also features numerous side trips for the adventurous traveler. For each city, they give you a quick orientation to the city and then, for those truly in need of a drink, they point you to the closest place to the train station for a good drink. The heart of the book, however, are the “sixpack of drinking experiences” in each city. The Tuppers know that the best part of travel is the discovery of great, authentic places where one can meet new people, see interesting things, and discover great flavors. Their knowledge of the beer culture of each city is amazing. I’ve lived in Prague and know the Czech Republic well, but they found both out-of-the-way cloister breweries that I know and some that I don’t, and they tell you clearly which places are the tourist traps that may be worth a look and which are the places mainly filled with locals. I’m now dying to go to places I never thought much about before, like Manchester, Stockholm, and Leipzig, and I’m dying to go back to places I’ve been but didn’t see what the Tuppers saw, like London, Berlin, and Salzberg. Do yourself a favor: buy this book and start planning your next trip. You will be salivating for that next beer all the way to Europe!”
