About this audiobook
Will Rogers once said he never met a man he didn’t like. I feel the same about beer.
George Wendt and beer have shared a lot over the years: good times, great stories, useless trivia, and a successful show business career. In Drinking with George, Wendt invites readers to crack open a cold one and pull up a seat at the bar as he celebrates the indelible, intoxicating beverage and all its irresistible peculiarities. Spinning hilarious and frank tales of his own imbibing adventures—from taking a first sip of his grandfather’s Bud as a child in Chicago to a beer-fueled impromptu performance with Woody Harrelson and the U.S. Women’s Synchronized Swimming Team—he explores the vast cultural history of brews, tackles basic bar theory, and answers important questions, like:
• What’s the real difference between lager, stout, and ale?
• How do you convert your lady into a beer-lover?
• What do you do when your beer is warm and you want to drink it now?
The next-best thing to a barstool and a pint, Drinking with George is all the fun—without the hangover.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I love beer and anecdotes, so this was a great quick read.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a light breezy read with plenty of photos. Just the sort thing to read after finishing a long book. I hate beer but I like George Wendt. I enjoyed him as Norm in Cheers. This book is half autobiographical and half information about beer. He was more enchanted with beer than school but he seems to be an expert about beer. I like learning about different subjects, so I liked this book. It was very straight forward and Mr. Wendt's love for people including his beautiful wife came through.
