Fraser Metcalf, the award-winning author behind this insightful guide, holds the view that the memorable quality of a beer is often tied to the context in which it is consumed.
“The beers you really remember,” he asserts, “are the ones you drink in special places and on special occasions. I’ll remember a beer in a beach bar watching the sun going down over the ocean long after I’ll remember what it tasted like.”
