We at BeerBooks.com think The Ale Trail is perhaps one of the best, but most overlooked books to come out in the last several years. Roger Protz has put together a wonderful tribute to ale -- its rich and colorful history, its many flavorful incarnations, and its role in today's world beer market. Protz's heart-felt admiration for ale results in thoughtful insights, and the full-color photography throughout the book makes for a stunningly visual journey through ale's history.

From the dust jacket: "Discover the fascinating history of the world's oldest beer style, from Ancient Egypt to the present day. This first definitive study of ale covers not just the milds and bitters of England but dry Irish stout, Scottish 'heavy', the fascinating ales made by spontaneous fermentation, Trappist beers of Belgium, the surprisingly rich ale tradition of Germany, and the magnificent revivalist ales that are sweeping the United States."
