"Who better than Lonely Planet to guide and inspire us on where best to fill one’s beer glass? Be it beer beginner or beer geek the pages in this guide (and your cup) will runneth over."
*Julia Herz, Publisher, CraftBeer.com*

"Takes the guesswork out of visiting breweries in far-flung places...so travelers can focus on what matters: the exhilaration of discovering delicious beer in its birthplace."
*Kate Bernot, Draft Magazine*

"Should spark the appropriate wanderlust...more of a read at home than toss in your backpack for an adventure book, but it highlights that good beer can be found wherever you are."
*All About Beer*

"For the travel-hungry, Lonely Planet’s Global Beer Tour walks the reader through the best places to find the beer in 30 countries, spanning five continents. Information includes curated travel trails, unique beers, food pairings and more."
*Imbibe Magazine*

"Because a lot of craft beers don’t get distributed beyond their home cities or countries, the book offers advice on where to go to find local suds in destinations as far-flung as Ethiopia, Nepal and Iceland."
*Associated Press*

"Without much risk of spilling the glasses of brew at their sides, craft beer aficionados can visit the world’s best breweries from the comfort of their armchairs"
*Pittsburgh Post-Gazette*

"Beer books can be a lot of things, but with so many of them, fun isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. The beauty of Lonely Planet’s Global Beer Tour is that in addition to being a useful and informative guide to the world’s craft beer scene, it never forgets to entertain... this colorful guide showcases beer’s most essential and exotic locations. And it does it in a manner that’s always conversational, like hostel travelers sharing insider tips in out of the way beer hangouts."
*American Craft Beer*

"As in Lonely Planet’s way, the book contains lots of enticing photos..."
*The Age/The Sydney Morning Herald*

"A truly excellent publication ... This wondrous book is an essential guide to some of the world’s best craft breweries..."
*Gold Coast Sun*

"As an enthusiastic traveler, I enjoy paging through this book. It takes you on a tour of the world through a craft beer drinker’s eyes, with breweries and bars to visit in such places as Canada, Belgium, Japan, Nepal and even North Korea. For every location the book also offers some things to do besides sitting on a barstool all day. This is a wonderful coffee table book and one I wish I would have written."
*Lancaster Online*

"There are handsome color photographs on nearly every page, images of towns and landscapes, with numerous shots of the breweries themselves, also pubs, bars, people, and, of course, many photos of bottles and glasses of beer.... Each brewery listing includes a sidebar called “Things to Do Nearby.” This is a common bit of layout design for guides of this type, and Global Beer Tour contains dozens of such destinations—both obscure and well known. In fact, I found myself page-marking a few of the suggested sites, thereby creating a sort of accidental world tour to complement the book’s liquid attractions."
