AN OVERVIEW:
WHAT BREW MASTER
CAN DO FOR YOU
No one will suspect you aren’t a knowledgeable connoisseur of beer as long as you have Brew Master within your reach! This indispensa- ble tool provides you instant access to reviews and information on over 1,500 rated brews.
When viewing information on a selected brewery’s beer, you’ll see that Brew Master displays informa- tion in the following way. First the beer’s score will appear at the top of the screen, along with a number of dollar signs indicating how expen- sive a brew is. ($$$ indicates an expensive beer.) Lower on the screen you’ll be able to scroll through and select additional types of information, including the nation of origin, type and style of the beer, plus distribution and bottling infor- mation. You can also select to read a review about a particular beer.
You can look up beers according
to BEERS, SCORE, TYPE, STYLE, LOCATION, STATE, BREWERY, ALCOHOL CONTENT, DISTRIBU-
interest to you for quick reference. And if you select FOOD & BEER PAIRINGS, Brew Master can also help you choose the best type of beer to enjoy with the food you’ll have for dinner tonight or that you’ll serve at your next party.
