Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

A revolution is happening in Ireland, with craft beer and cider producers and enthusiasts seeking to transform our drinking habits. In Sláinte, Caroline Hennessy and Kristin Jensen provide you with the knowledge to increase your enjoyment of craft beer and cider, while introducing you to the personalities behind the bottles and helping you to match it with food and use it in your cooking. As craft brewing and cider making grows in Ireland, there is a large audience of interested and active drinkers and brewers as well as less heavily involved but equally interested readers looking for information, advice and guidance that relates specifically to Ireland. Sláinte - The Complete Guide to Irish Craft Beer & Cider is designed by two writers within the community to help spread the word, to inform and to delight all these potential readers. Sláinte covers everything from the basics of how beer and cider are made to profiles of the people and stories behind the microbreweries that are fuelling Ireland's craft beer revolution, all the way through to tips on matching beer and cider with food and Irish farmhouse cheese and recipes that incorporate craft brews.
