| Synopsis: |
A sparkling, premium strength history of beer, served with irreverence and wit by an industry insider. Told in a witty and popular style, this take on an amazing and amusing subject is stuffed full of remarkable tales and facts with which to astound your mates down the pub. It's a sozzled tale of fungi, yeast obsessed monks, an Egyptian Goddess, a bear in yellow nylon, and a Canadian bloke who changed the drinking habits of a nation. The history of British beer drinking is a social history of the nation itself, full of catastrophe (the Great Beer Flood of 1814), heroism (beer and the World War II) and an awful lot of hangovers. |
