Overview

This Element is an excerpt from Beer Is Proof God Loves Us: Reaching for the Soul of Beer and Brewing (9780137065073) by Charles W. Bamforth. Available in print and digital formats.

An expert meditates on beer quality: from the bottle to the bubbles and beyond.

What exactly does beer qualitymean to the consumer? Does anyone have the right to stamp their judgment on it, like Robert Parker pontificates on wine? Let us journey from the container inwards and dwell on attitudes towards what is and what is not beer quality.

The topics address here are those of a very knowledgeable and experienced brewer author, teacher and student of beer.  As you read this, think of your own experiences, and what you would have done differently with the knowledge you glean from this reading.
