Radical Brewing

A book for brewers who want to push beyond standard recipes and explore the creative frontier of homebrewing. Mosher dives into historical brewing traditions, unusual ingredients, and experimental techniques with infectious enthusiasm and 90 original recipes.

Why Read This

If you already have the basics down and want to brew something nobody else is making, this is the book that will open your eyes. Mosher covers ancient grain bills, spices, fruits, honey, smoked malts, and dozens of other ingredients that most brewing books ignore. The historical chapters are genuinely fascinating, tracing beer traditions from ancient Sumeria through medieval Europe to modern craft culture.

What to Expect

A 350-page exploration of brewing as creative expression. The two-color layout is engaging and the writing is witty and opinionated. This is not a beginner’s manual. It assumes you know the basics and pushes you to think differently about what beer can be.
