Firstly, craft beer doesn't travel too well and is affected by changes in temperature and long distances. And secondly, due to the explosion in small-scale breweries, many great beers aren't distributed outside their city or region. Beer often tastes better the closer it is to home, especially if that's straight from a tap in the actual brewery. The craft beer revolution has seen waves of breweries open up to the public, not just in the United States, the UK and Australia, where the trend is well established, but all over the world. Visit European beer capitals like Belgium, Italy and Germany, and sample local favourites in Canada, Australia and New Zealand. In Asia, explore hotspots in Japan, Vietnam and China, then venture to South America, Africa and the Middle East. Each brewery is accompanied by a selection of sightseeing ideas and activities, from local museums and galleries, to great hikes or bike rides. The book also features fun sections on beer trails, hangover cures and the world's wildest beers. There's also practical advice like how to ask for a beer in the local language and the ideal snacks to accompany your drink.

Reviews for Lonely Planet´s Global Beer Tour
There are handsome color photographs on nearly every page, images of towns and landscapes, with numerous shots of the breweries themselves, also pubs, bars, people, and, of course, many photos of bottles and glasses of beer.... Each brewery listing includes a sidebar called Things to Do Nearby. This is a common bit of layout design for guides of ... Read morethis type, and Global Beer Tour contains dozens of such destinations
both obscure and well known. In fact, I found myself page-marking a few of the suggested sites, thereby creating a sort of accidental world tour to complement the book's liquid attractions.
Perceptive Travel (5/1/2017 12:00:00 AM) As an enthusiastic traveler, I enjoy paging through this book. It takes you on a tour of the world through a craft beer drinker's eyes, with breweries and bars to visit in such places as Canada, Belgium, Japan, Nepal and even North Korea. For every location the book also offers some things to do besides sitting on a barstool all day. This is a wonderful coffee table book and one I wish I would have written.
Lancaster Online (5/1/2017 12:00:00 AM) Beer books can be a lot of things, but with so many of them, fun isn't the first thing that comes to mind. The beauty of Lonely Planet's Global Beer Tour is that in addition to being a useful and informative guide to the world's craft beer scene, it never forgets to entertain... this colorful guide showcases beer's most essential and exotic locations. And it does it in a manner that's always conversational, like hostel travelers sharing insider tips in out of the way beer hangouts.
American Craft Beer (5/1/2017 12:00:00 AM) Without much risk of spilling the glasses of brew at their sides, craft beer aficionados can visit the world's best breweries from the comfort of their armchairs
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (5/1/2017 12:00:00 AM) Because a lot of craft beers don't get distributed beyond their home cities or countries, the book offers advice on where to go to find local suds in destinations as far-flung as Ethiopia, Nepal and Iceland.
Associated Press (5/1/2017 12:00:00 AM) For the travel-hungry, Lonely Planet's Global Beer Tour walks the reader through the best places to find the beer in 30 countries, spanning five continents. Information includes curated travel trails, unique beers, food pairings and more.
Imbibe Magazine (5/1/2017 12:00:00 AM) Should spark the appropriate wanderlust...more of a read at home than toss in your backpack for an adventure book, but it highlights that good beer can be found wherever you are.
All About Beer (5/1/2017 12:00:00 AM) Takes the guesswork out of visiting breweries in far-flung places...so travelers can focus on what matters: the exhilaration of discovering delicious beer in its birthplace.
Kate Bernot, Draft Magazine (5/1/2017 12:00:00 AM) Who better than Lonely Planet to guide and inspire us on where best to fill one's beer glass? Be it beer beginner or beer geek the pages in this guide (and your cup) will runneth over.
