Serendipity obviously played her hand in Steve Thomas’ new Good Beer Guide Germany, which was published in the UK May 17 of this year, only a couple of weeks before the start of the World Cup, which is held this year in, of course, Germany. The book is published by CAMRA and will be ideal for anyone traveling to Germany in search of beer other than the official beer of the World Cup. It’s not yet available here in the States, but you can order it online from Amazon UK.
