"It turns out that not only have reputable psychologists at well-respected institutions done experimental studies on this effect, but it also serves as a kind of foul point for various philosophical questions. The works set out to address the intersection between philosophy and areas of everyday general concern: food, wine, and beer. In addition to straightforward philosophical discussions, the volumes include historical discussions, legal questions, some personal reflections. Beer and Philosophy ... includes essays that encourage the next step of engaging philosophers themselves, has the fewest contributions with only a tangential link to philosophy ... and discusses a wide range of issues." (Gastronomica, Fall 2008)
