B Is For Beer

Tom Robbins is one of my favorite authors (Fierce Invalids Home From Hot Climates, Villa Incognito and Still Life With Woodpecker are nearly perfect comedic novels).  His books are both well-written and hilarious and that is an awesome, but rare combination.

So, it seemed that if anyone could make beer making both funny and interesting, it would be Tom Robbins.  I was optimistic when I picked up his newest book - B Is for Beer.  It is described as a "children's book for grown-ups/grown-up book for children".  About beer.

Unfortunately, even the master was not up to the task.  As tasty as beer is and as terrific as his other books are, in B Is for Beer the making of beer is not that funny or interesting.  In fact, the book is down right boring!
