The Oxford Companion to Beer, abbreviated OCB, is a book in the series of Oxford Companions published by Oxford University Press. The book provides an alphabetically arranged reference to beer, compiled and edited by Garrett Oliver with a foreword by U.S. chef Tom Colicchio. Published in 2011, the work draws on 166 contributors from 24 countries to amass over 1,100 entries on beer. [1]
Eric Asimov of The New York Times described the work as a "mammoth undertaking ... encyclopedic in scope", and that the editor has "captured the blossoming of a global beer culture at a thriving moment". [2]
Critical opinion of the work has also been voiced, with contentions that the OCB perpetuates certain beer history myths, [3] and other omissions published by writers and beer enthusiasts, [4] some of whom OCB contributors themselves. [5] Shortly after publication an unofficial wiki site was launched to "make comments, add annotation, identify errata and suggest further sources to the text of The Oxford Companion to Beer". [5] [6]
