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.

    Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

    Jonathan Grotenstein is a reasonably successful author and ghost-writer (read: working), less-than-successful screenwriter, and recovering professional poker player.

    After spending much of the '90s on an Internet thrill ride, Grotenstein realized he could make a far more honest living at the poker table, where there's no need to suspect that everyone is lying to make a buck. (They are.) He succeeded more than he failed, but quickly discovered that he could achieve significantly more consistent results as a poker-playing writer than a writing poker player.

    In 2004, he and Phil Gordon co-authored "Poker: The Real Deal," which became, thanks to a lack of any serious competition at the time, one of the best-selling poker books in history. Grotenstein collaborated with Gordon on two sequels, ghost-wrote "Online Ace" for poker pro Scott Fischman, then teamed up with Storms Reback to write "All In: The (Almost) Entirely True History of the World Series of Poker." He contributed (and, in some cases, donated) dozens of articles to the poker magazine "All In" and primers on poker and blackjack for the Lonely Planet's guide to Las Vegas.

    He has also authored several feature-film screenplays, a couple of which have actually generated significant interest. (Translation: numerous time-consuming meetings, note sessions and extensive rewrites, adding up to approximately $700 in material compensation.) He played the not-at-all-pivotal role of "Poker Dealer," opposite the late, great Patrick Swayze, in an episode of A&E's "The Beast."

    Grotenstein resides in Pasadena with his wife and two sons, where, when he's not toiling away at his crappy novel, he continues to ghost-write for TV stars, NFL veterans, celebrity dog trainers, and the occasional fictional character. His current project, "Ship It Holla Balla!" -- the true story of a group of teenagers who made ridiculous money and even more ridiculous life-decisions during the late '00s online poker boom -- will be published by St. Martin's Press in 2012.

What a great read!

What a great read!
I am NOT a reader. that is why I video blog everything, I don't like to read and I don't read fast, it isn't my gig. I was very eager to read this book because seeing "Norm" brings me back to the days in the late 80's and early 90's watching Cheers, a show I never missed.If you are looking for a book written by "Norm" about Cheers, this book is for you (but may I also recommend "Toasting Cheers"), if you are looking for a book that is about the lives and times of George Wendt, this book is also for you.This book is an easy read, broken down into very simple sections (not paragraphs) and isn't so much "Drinking with George" but "Georges life and how drinking has always made it fun". From growing up as a kid, to the reasons he went to Notre Dame (tailgate parties baby!) to ocean adventures with Woody Harrelson, this book entertains at every turn (if you don't find yourself lauhging out loud with nobody around, something could be wrong with you, see a doctor)This is an excellent coffee table piece or one to have next to your dad's recliner. I am buying a handful of them for family for Christmas. Highly recommended.Erik Boles[...]

The book is an easy read. Relax and laugh as you follow George through his enviable lifelong adolescence and acting career. He didn't act the part of Norm Peterson in "Cheers." Norm Peterson was George.

This is a light read that will keep you laughing. From his days as a child and into life as an adult, Mr. Wendt recounts with honesty and humor his love for barley, hops and water and people. The next best thing to this book would be sitting down and slinging back a cold one with George himself.

5.0 out of 5 stars George Knows Beer
Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2010

If you savor the flavor of a nice cold beer, you'll surely enjoy this professional perspective, compliments of George Wendt - the King of Beer Drinkers.

Let's face it; for a large segment of the population, beer is the center of the universe. George is widely regarded as the beer drinker's guru; the guy with the most knowledge on the subject, and the sharpest wit on how to engage in the activity in the most desirable fashion. This book is no exception; he nails it.

Certainly, George knows beer; and we're fortunate enough to have his spin on how to best savor a nice cold one. Really, no beer drinker's library is complete without Wendt's engaging prose. You'll love it.
