From the world leader in fascinating facts and amusing true stories comes a book about all things beer.

For more than 25 years, Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader has helped

you learn amazing things you didn’t know (and amazing things you

didn’t know you didn’t know). Now, Uncle John’s tackles one of the

world’s best loved and—fastest growing interests—beer.

Pull up a stool and chug a pint of Beer-Vana, a rich, deep-bodied

keg of beer knowledge, beer trivia, beer history, and beer fun. In

recent years, beer has evolved from the swill your uncle drank at the

bowling alley to the explosively-popular “microbrew” culture. There’s

a lot to explore about the beer phenomenon, and Beer-Vana will

plumb the depths. What’s on tap?

• The histories and origins of all the different styles of beers

• Interesting (and weird) beer flavors

• The science of beer, and how it’s made

• Crazy beer-related news stories

• Beer terminology

• Funny microbrew names

And lots, lots more!

REVIEWS & TESTIMONIALS

Madonna has had more Top 10 hits than Elvis.

Uncle John’s Bathroom Readers are always excellent. Over the past 20 years, I’ve read these books, given them as gifts to

my husband and sons for Christmas and birth-days. The writing is always good, and this book,

like so many others that we’ve had over the years, is definitely worth reading and

definitely worth owning. —IBPA Benjamin Franklin

Awards Judge“My friend in school was reading

Bathroom Reads, so then I bought a couple, and now my mom says I’m just threatening

her with my intelligence.” —Chase O.

“Our friend Patrick Merrell has a new book out that would make a great gift for the elementary

or middle school child in your life. Hunting For Heroes, which also has the title iFlush because it’s published by the infamous Uncle John’s series, is a

beautiful book jam-packed with puzzles galore. The lucky recipient of this book will stay busy for

hours learning about heroes, big and small.” —Deb Amlen, The New York Times, 4/17/14

“I have learned so much from you guys. Thank you for being

amazing!” —Reece T.

“I love these books! I read them on my commute bus in the morning,

and during my lunch hour. They are definitely not just for the bathroom.”

—Alison G.
