I realize this may get lost in your comments but watching all of your videos reminds me of hanging out with my friends from the East Coast. I watch your videos daily and hope that if you ever come to Orange County California I can catch a drink with you. All of your videos are 10/10.
One book I would suggest is The Drunken Botanist by Amy Stewart. It's a fairly decent run-down of many plants used in brewing and even distilling around the world.
Excellent list. Several that I need to look into. One book that I really like that I believe fits into your style is 'Extreme Brewing, An Introduction to Brewing Craft Beer at Home' by Sam Calagione (owner of Dogfish Head Craft Brewery). It has some interesting recipes and talks about adding ingredients to 'standard' brews with idea of experimenting with flavor and complexity. I think some of the edition I have is a bit dated (Copyright 2012), but gets you thinking and I believe spurs creative excitement around brewing.
For anyone that is at all interested in sour or mixed fermentations (or even just Brett), they should read Michael Tonsmeire's American Sour Beers. Not only is it an excellent resource, but it's also well written, and a joy to read. Some of the other brew books I have are excellent at conveying information, but are dry, and dense (such as the Water Brewing Elements book).
A great book on hops is by michael’s brewery co owner Scott janish called the new IPA. Very technical and academic,if driven but no greater deep dive on hops exists IMO (and it was published in the last year or two so the info still holds up)
Another book that would be good if you or somebody else is makes beer is John Palmer's How To Brew, it's also basically an actual textbook, but it's reasonably priced at around $20 on Amazon.
I keep a few copies of John Palmer's how to brew. Great book. I give them away when people start asking questions about homebrewing. If you want a copy I'd send it too you free. Local homebrew shop recommended it to me several years ago. I was making fruit wines cider and mead. But wanted to step up to beer.

I was about to mention this lol, Also Brewing Like a Monk by Stan Hieronymus.
Thanks for the recommendations, y'all! Adding both to my wishlist.

I have a copy of it, thanks.
I was really suprised to see the NOMA book on this list, that restaurant is on my bucket list.
It’s a solid book packed with information. And the illustrations are so unusual and fun!
Thank you. Great list.
Enjoy!
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I haven't heard of HALF of these!!! sweet!!!!!
Gotta check your superfan card - I'm sure I've mentioned most of them over the years! :P
*quickly backpedals, searching frantically for an excuse to retain superfan crown* 😬😬😬😬.....
"I don't know how to read"? 🥺🥺🥺
I'm the 100th like. Neat.
