Homebrewing beer is one of those great hobbies that not only lets you indulge your ‘DIY genius’ fantasy, but also allows you to drink a lot of beer.

But being that the world’s best beer is brewed by Trappist monks in Belgium, rather than by you in your garage, perhaps its time to stop focusing on your process and instead look at your soul.

Well, maybe not, but Brew Like A Monk by Stan Hieronymus could be a good start. Starting with the history of beer in Belgium and moving onto how its brewed, the book then tells you how you can attempt to emulate theirs techniques in your own home.
