V roce 2007 zaujal Robbinse v New Yorkeru kreslený vtip zasazený do baru, kde sedí ob několik stoliček od sebe byznysmen a šupák, a muž v obleku komentuje jejich společnou žízeň: "Pochybuju, že by se dobře prodávala dětská knížka o pivu." Robbinsovi se to tak zalíbilo, že se rozhodl takovou knihu napsat. Pivo a mnohé o něm je jednotícím prvkem v příběhu o šestileté předškolačce Grácii Perkelové, která tráví čas nejraději se svým strýčkem Moem, jenž pivu značně holduje. Grácie si občas sama přihne a pak se jí zjevuje pivní víla, která ji odnáší do jiného světa.

In "Birmingham Beer," Carla Jean Whitley explores the city's brewing history, from its early saloons to the devastating effects of Prohibition. Despite a brief revival in the 1990s, restrictive laws hindered growth, leading to the closure of all Birmingham breweries by 2004. Whitley highlights the fight for local beer's resurgence.

“The only book you need to understand the world’s most popular beverage. I swear on a stack of these, it’s a thumping good read.”––John Holl, editor of All About Beer Magazine and author of The American Craft Beer Cookbook Imagine sitting in your favorite pub with a friend who happens to be a world-class expert on beer. That’s this book. It covers the history: how we got from gruel-beer to black IPA in 10,000 years. The alchemy: malts, grains, and the miracle of hops. The variety: dozens of styles and hundreds of recommended brews (including suggestions based on your taste preferences), divided into four sections––Ales, Wheat Beers, Lagers, and Tart and Wild Ales––and all described in mouthwatering detail. The curiosity: how to read a Belgian label; the talk of two Budweisers; porter, the first superstyle; and what, exactly, a lager is. The pleasure. Because you don’t merely taste beer, you experience it. Winner of a 2016 IACP Award “Covers a lot of ground, from beer styles and brewing methods to drinking culture past and present. There’s something for beer novices and beer geeks alike.”––Ken Grossman, founder, Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. “Erudite, encyclopedic, and enormously entertaining aren’t words you normally associate with beer, but The Beer Bible is no ordinary beer book. As scinitillating, diverse, and refreshing as man’s oldest alcoholic beverage itself.”––Steve Raichlen, author of Project Smoke and How to Grill
