Radical Brewing: Recipes, Tales and World-Altering Meditations in a Glass (Paperback)
by Randy Mosher
Famed beer writer Michael Jackson once called Mosher "some kind of homebrewing genius" and in the forward to Radical Brewing, he further lionizes this genius, saying "His activities are probably a threat to our morals. Passion, imagination and tenacity are a challenge to the established order." These two masters of beer have collaborated in the past, as Jackson notes when he tells how Mosher accurately recreated the flavor of a now-lost beer style that even Jackson had only once tasted himself. And though Jackson’s accolades for Mosher are great, one can only imagine that they will pale as practicing brewers of all stripes begin to digest Mosher’s treasure-trove of beer ideas and render their own reviews of this delightful book.

A Sip Through Time - A Collection of Old Brewing Recipes
by Cindy Renfrow
I own this book and I think it's unbeatable for historic brewing recipes. This is a recipe book, not a history book. Renfrow provides recipes for the expected classifications of beer, ale, mead and wine. Then whole chapters are devoted to obscure brews like "Caudles, Possets & Syllabubs" and "Hypocras." Another chapter collects recipes for "Cider & Perry."

Extreme Brewing: An Enthusiast's Guide to Brewing Craft Beer at Home (Paperback)
by Sam Caligione
Well, this one is both a resource and a recipe book. Authored by the founder of Dog Fish Head Brewing Company.
Extreme Brewing is a recipe-driven resource for aspiring home brewers who are interested in recreating these specialty beers at home, but don't have the time to learn the in-depth science and lore behind home-brewing. As such, all recipes are malt-syrup based (the simplest brewing method) with variations for partial-grain brewing. While recipes are included for classic beer styles -- ales and lagers -- Extreme Brewing has a unique emphasis on hybrid styles that use fruit, vegetables, herbs and spices to create unique flavor combinations. Once their brew is complete, readers can turn to section three, The Rewards of Your Labor, to receive guidance on presentation, including corking, bottle selection and labeling as well as detailed information on food pairings, including recipes for beer infused dishes and fun ideas for themed dinners that tallow the reader to share their creations with family and friends.
