Beers of Joy is a fascinating, entertaining, and savory journey into our world's favorite magical elixir. Feast upon stunning visuals of medieval monasteries, ancient Italian villages, and breweries from across the world that serve as the backdrop for four people immersing themselves in their passion for beer. An internationally acclaimed brewer and a celebrated chef take separate journeys of discovery through Europe and early America, while two Advanced Cicerones attempt to pass the prestigious Master Cicerone exam (beer's equivalent to wine's Master Sommelier), one of the most difficult tests in the world. Historians, scientists, clergy, brewers, and most importantly, the every man and woman flavor this brew of a love letter to beer that proves once and for all... Beer isn't just a breakfast drink anymore.
