''All About Beer'' is an English-language magazine published by Chautauqua, Inc., located in Durham, NC, USA. It is published six times per year, plus one special annual issue, and has a distribution of over 46,000, with subscribers and newsstand sales in more than 40 countries. ''All About Beer'' is the oldest American publication for beer consumers.〔Smith, Gregg. ''Beer: A History of Suds and Civilization from Mesopotamia to Microbreweries'', Avon Books, 1995, pp. 217-219.〕 It is written for the beer drinker, particularly those interested in new developments in craft beer and specialty brewing. ==History== ''All About Beer'' was founded in Los Angeles in 1979 by printing executive Mike Bosak and six colleagues from the print and publishing world. The first issue appeared in March of that year. None of the original founders was a beer expert.〔“''All About Beer'': In the Beginning,” ''All About Beer'' Magazine, vol. 21 no. 1, March, 2000, p. 7〕 In 1982, ownership of ''All About Beer'' passed to MacMullen Publishing of Anaheim, CA, though Bosak and fellow founders Kenneth Yee and Terry Bratcher remained involved. By its third volume, the publication had adopted a conventional four-color magazine format. In 1988, Mike Bosak and his wife Bunny re-acquired the magazine. When Bosak retired in 1992, he sold ''All About Beer'' to Daniel Bradford,〔“New Publisher Takes Over at ''All About Beer'' Magazine,” ''Modern Brewery Age'', May 10, 1993, http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m3469/is_n19_v44/ai_13977652/〕 one of the founders and the first general director of the Great American Beer Festival in Denver,〔Papazian, Charlie. “Daniel Bradford Comes on as a Hired Gun,” April 9, 2009.〕 and an occasional contributor to the magazine. Bradford moved the magazine to Durham, NC. Julie Johnson served as editor from 2000 to 2011, with Bradford as publisher.〔Protz, Roger. “Michael Jackson and Beer Writing,” ''Brewery History: The Journal of the Brewery History Society'', 2011, no. 139, p. 35 〕 The magazine is co-owned today by Bradford and Johnson. In 1995, ''All About Beer'' Magazine entered into an agreement with the Beverage Testing Institute (BTI, later Tastings.com) of Chicago to publish the results of the institute’s regular sampling of beers, grouped by style family. Each issue of ''All About Beer'' publishes a survey article on the most recent tasting results, a guide to what readers should expect from each style, and tasting notes on various beers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「All About Beer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
