Never before has the evolution of pale ale been so thoroughly explored. Terry Foster pays proper homage to this distinctive ale and the sub-styles it has spawned. This all-new revised and expanded edition includes a new section on American IPAâs, pale ales and amber ales. The Classic Beer Style Series from Brewers Publications examines individual world-class beer styles, covering origins, history, sensory profiles, brewing techniques and commercial examples.
Terry was born and educated in London and holds a Ph.D. in organic chemistry from London University; he moved to the U.S. in 1977. Terry started brewing some fifty years ago, and has been brewing at home ever since. He started writing about home and commercial brewing in various magazines in England, and published his first book Dr. Fosterâs Book of Beer in England. In the U.S., he gave many presentations on technical and practical aspects of brewing, and wrote for several magazines, such as Zymurgy, All About Beer, American Brewer, and Brew Your Own. Terry initiated the Classic Beer Styles Series with Pale Ale in 1990. This was followed by Porter, and in 1999, a revised and larger second edition of Pale Ale.
