Stone Brewing's Mitch Steele Authors the Definitive Guide on IPA

Stone Brewing's Mitch Steele Authors the Definitive Guide on IPA:
Mitch Steele is often not given the credit he deserves. Though Stone Brewing Co. was co-founded by Greg Cock, it was when Brewmaster Mitch Steele was hired that the beers really began to sing. An unquestioned master of style and technique, his years working for Anheuser-Busch taught him science and perfection and at Stone he has brought craft to his repertoire. So as a style aficionado and homebrewer, or simply for a craft beer education, I am excited for his new book all about the IPA. Here is some more info from the recent news release:

India pale ale (IPA) has become one of the most popular craft beer styles in the world, and Brewers Publications is pleased to present the authoritative guide to the brewing techniques and history behind this iconic beer. IPA: Brewing Techniques, Recipes and the Evolution of India Pale Ale, by Mitch Steele, is a must-have addition to any brewer's library.
Arguably one of the leading authorities on hoppy beer, Steele is currently Stone Brewing Co.'s brewmaster, and his brewery experience ranges from the small-scale San Andreas Brewing Co. to the Anheuser-Busch specialty group. In this new book, he explores the evolution of an influential beer style, India pale ale. IPA covers techniques ranging from water treatment to hopping procedures, including 48 recipes ranging from historical brews to recipes for the most popular contemporary IPAs made by craft brewers such as Deschutes Brewery, Dogfish Head Craft Brewery, Firestone Walker Brewing Company, Pizza Port Brewing and Russian River Brewing Company.
