Craft beer aficionado and "nutmegger through and through," DiSorbo was inspired to write the new "Book of Hops" to share his particular passion.

"New England pale ales will always hold a special place in my heart as my all-time favorite beer style," he says.

Written for even the most novice beer lover, "The Book of Hops" breaks down the science and story behind beer's most important ingredients. The gorgeously illustrated guidebook is full of hyper-detailed by Erik Christiansen photographs and profiles 50 of the most sought-after hops from around the world with notes on taste, composition, use, and origins.

"Think of this guide as a new drinking companion on your way to becoming an enlightened hophead," says DiSorbo of his book.
