Editorial Reviews
Review
- "Throughout, the culinary status of beer is rightly elevated." - The Boston Globe
- "John Holl's The American Craft Beer Cookbook is THE bar food bible. It will make you thirsty just at first glance." -Anthony Dias Blue
- "The book is beautifully photographed, the recipes are clearly explained and mostly fairly simple, and Holl's brief descriptions of the featured breweries are well written and to the point." - Chicago Reader.
- "It really is that good." - San Diego Reader
- "Attractively designed and photographed." - New Jersey Monthly
- "The book, however, is more than a cook's guide. Brimming with photos, anecdotes, history and insight about the beers and their makers, as well as recommended road trips and festivals, it is an ode to today's craft beer movement." - Edible Jersey
- "By seamlessly combining the complimentary worlds of beer and food with a tour of craft beer destinations, The American Craft Beer Cookbook is unlike any beer and food book." - Portland Press Herald
- "Savoring the experience of artisan brews and good food." - Times of Northwest Indiana
- "...vividly illustrates the affinities of food and beer while showing how much cooking and brewing have in common." - The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
- "This craft brew lovers' cooking companion confirms there's much more to beer food than traditional bar food." - The Spokesman-Review
- "It focuses on food traditions specific to regions and recipes that have been handed down from generation to generation." - WTOP radio
- "...there's a new breed of beer-centric cuisine brewing." - San Jose Mercury News
- "Ultimately, this book is about the story of where we are right now with beer and food, as a society and in the home." - Eugene Register-Guard
- "The range of recipes reflect a kitchen creativity that mirrors the bounty of beers presented." - Ale Street News
- "Spanning all of the meals of the day (including breakfast), this cookbook also offers a number of vegetarian and gluten-free options." - Rochester Democrat & Chronicle
- "There are several quite good beer cookbooks out there; this one lifts the overall standards of the genre to a new level." - Jack Curtin's Liquid Diet
- "The pairing-timid will be inspired, while the cuisine a la biere geeks are sure to discover some bold new flavor combos." - Beer Advocate.
“My wife and I were lucky enough to be guinea pigs when John was testing out a couple of recipes and I can confirm that the book will be worth every penny.”
"Not every recipe in the book is made with beer, but they all taste great when paired with beer — and isn't that the important part? The American Craft Beer Cookbook: 155 Recipes from Your Favorite Brewpubs and Breweries offers up instructions on how to cook everything from appetizers to desserts, including some stuff you'd expect — like pub-friendly foods and barbecue — to some you wouldn't — like cupcakes and ice cream floats. But hey, it's all beer-friendly, so it's all good."
“Finally, a cookbook made for beer geeks!“
“A bible for guys who like to cook with beer, pair their meals with the perfect pour or do both. Some recipes, like the American wheat beer steamed clams, use the beer for both eating and drinking, and all 155 of them taste great with the right ale or lager.”
"Finally, a cookbook made for beer geeks!"
"We've never been so excited to cook in our lives."
“Showcase(s) the transformative cuisine being undertaken by brewpubs across the country."
"I recommend reading Holl’s entire cookbook, marking pages as you go, for there is inspiration for every season of craft beer and cuisine. This is a cookbook you’ll use often and enjoy exploring, glass in hand.”
“Beer food is more than bar food, and Holl takes you through a range of recipes ranging from Slow-Cooked DoppleBock BBQ Meatballs to Duck Chiles Rellenos. Woven within are profiles of notable brewers and stories about the beers described within. Throughout, the culinary status of beer is rightly elevated.”
“The American Craft Beer Cookbook is full of ideas that will appeal to cooks of all levels and change the way you look at beer. Anyone who loves beer, cooking, and entertaining will enjoy this book.”
From the Back Cover
Food That Loves Craft Beer
John Holl, an enthusiast who believes that there's perfect beer for every meal, conducts an exciting tour of delicious food designed to eat with fine craft brews. Thinking beyond standard burgers and nachos, talented brewpub chefs offer pairings such as Pistachio-Crusted Salmon Sandwiches served with a bright hefeweizen, and Curried Pumpkin Chicken Soup paired with - what else? - a pumpkin porter. Craft beer never tasted so good.

I was disappointed that this cookbook wasn't as it initially sounded--the majority of the recipes don't call for craft beer. It was even more disappointing that breweries that don't have restaurants included recipes that don't include their beer...To me, that's like if I wrote out some of my creations and titled my cookbook Craft Beer Eats or something... :/ I don't care what the brewers make at home that has nothing to do with their beer!

I've already made several of these recipes, pairing them with the suggested beers, and they rock! The recipes are diverse and include an amazing mix of both traditional and non-traditional dishes. Can't wait to get through this whole book and make as many as possible!! Great work!

This book is solid. The recipes in here are great, fun and super crowd pleasers. I'd go so far as to say you can roll to a party with an untested recipe and rest assured it will be great.
While certainly focused more on taste than health the recipes contained herein are worth the calories!

My husband has spent the better part of the last year homebrewing as a hobby and I've been along for the ride learning from osmosis. Since he is deployed, a huge goal for me is to brew a successful batch myself. This cookbook was full of so much insanely interesting stuff about brewing and brews. The format itself is absolutely amazing - each page has something to learn, create, or drool over, not to mention a little bit of information on different bars, pubs, and dives all over the United States. As a newly-converted homebrewing enthusiast, this cookbook honestly captured all of my attention and I wanted to make everything.
One of my favorite features of the book is that the recipes with beer in them suggest a list of beers to use in the recipe. I have to admit - my brain is a bit foggy when it comes to words like lager and ale - so having a list of beers that I can use not only tells me exactly what I need to know, but also gives me options for taste preference!
I made three recipes out of the book when I got an ecopy through NetGalley, although I made plans for 8 recipes - but preparing for a deployment had me crunching some nights and not really getting free time on the weekends for stuff like the Beermosas [not going to risk drinking and then getting in my car for errands] or the Bavarian Cheese Spread. But what I did make...was the best!
Gouda Fondue
I got my husband hooked on gouda cheese in 2012 and anytime I mention gouda is going into a recipe, he flips his lid. When I said we were having fondue, he got even more excited. Then when I told him I had picked crusty French bread, carrots, and Granny Smith apples for dipping, I think he kissed the ground I walked on, but don't quote me on that. The kids thought this snack was the coolest thing ever!Read more ›

Bought this as a gift for my brother and he absolutely loves it! I love it because he keeps inviting me over for great beer and great food thanks to these recipes. I do have a tendency to buy gifts that also benefit me.. but anyway.. Pick one up, you won't regret it!

I've bought the kindle edition and i am very dissapointed there's no photo for each recipe and design just does not work for kindle overall. For me is important to see how should the result and presentation should be. Instructions and recomended beers should be a little more detailed.
Thank you for your feedback.
