The Beer Lover’s Guide to Cider: American Ciders for Craft Beer Fans To Explore

For beer lovers who might need a change of pace or palate, this is an excellent guide for learning about the world of cider. With beautiful photos to accompany each section, there are helpful guides that compare flavors and explain each cider on a sensory level. Beer columnist Demmon (host of the podcast Good Beer Hunting) stresses that these aren’t meant to be showcased as the best ciders to try; they are more of a starting point for those easing their way into trying ciders. For those unfamiliar, the book explains why certain tastes of beer and cider overlap and what might pull one toward a region’s flavors rather than another’s. This is a companion for anyone interested in learning more about cider, whether as a beginner or someone looking to branch out. Demmon’s knowledge makes it an easy read and one to recommend to any beer or cider enthusiast.
