BREW HA HA!
A crafty game for beer lovers! Brew Ha Ha! is a bit like Cards Against Humanity meets Mad Libs meets BEER! Players combine their cards to create their own funny, accurate, or just plain ridiculous descriptions of each beer they try. Once you've sampled all the beers, it's time for "Character Assassination," where players describe each player as if THEY were a beer. It's like a roast.... but hoppier :)

THE BEER BIBLE
The ultimate reader- and drinker-friendly guide to the world’s ales and beers, and the book that approaches the subject in the same way beer lovers do—by style, just like a welcoming pub menu.
Divided into four major families—ales, lagers, wheat beers, and sour and wild ales—The Beer Bible covers everything a beer drinker wants to know about the hundreds of types of beers made, from bitters, sessions, and IPAs to weisses, wits, lambics, and more. Each style is a chapter unto itself, delving into origins, ingredients, description and characteristics, sub-styles, and tasting notes, and ending with a recommended list of the beers to know in each category. Infographic charts throughout make understanding the connection between styles and families immediately understandable.
The book is written for passionate beginners, who will love its “if you like X, try Y” feature; for intermediate beer lovers eager to go deeper; and for true geeks, who will find new information on every page.

THE BEER TASTING DOODLE BOOK!
A Professional Beer Tasting Journal for Scribblers, Doodlers, and Drawers!

Every page becomes not only informative but a work of art in its own right.
This notebook is a collection of my most useful doodles (and of course space for your own) applied to Brewing Industry terminology and techniques - meaning you will learn great beer tasting methods AND have a blast while doing it!
