If you think of Trekkies with extensive trivia knowledge, brilliant physicists or basement-dwelling computer scientists when you hear the word geek, you’re not wrong... but you’re also not entirely right. In simple terms, the word geek describes people with an unusually strong interest in and preoccupation with specific topics. And so there are sci-fi geeks, IT geeks – but also beer geeks!

No, this is not a euphemism for alcoholics! Rather, it describes those who are especially interested in the science of beer brewing and might even dabble in it themselves. For these beer geeks specifically, there is now a masterclass available in the form of the book Brewdog – Craft Beer for the Geeks. The alternative Scottish brewery Brewdog has accumulated detailed knowledge about DIY brewing: on 224 pages, you can find everything from ingredients and recipes to tips and ideas for foolproof home-brewing to pairings of beer with delicious food.

A detailed, entertaining and inspiring insight into the science of brewing for beer geeks.
