- Effectively demonstrates how real philosophical issues exist just below the surface of our everyday activities
- Divided into four sections: The Art of the Beer; The Ethics of Beer: Pleasures, Freedom, and Character; The Metaphysics and Epistemology of Beer; and Beer in the History of Philosophy
- Uses the context of beer to expose George Berkeley s views on fermented beverages as a medical cure; to inspect Immanuel Kant s transcendental idealism through beer goggles, and to sort out Friedrich Nietzsche s simultaneous praise and condemnation of intoxication
- Written for beer-lovers who want to think while they drink
