Man Walks Into A Pub

- A Sociable History of Beer (Fully Updated Second Edition)
Af: Pete Brown Engelsk Paperback
Tjek vores konkurrenters priser

It''s an extraordinary tale of yeast-obsessed monks and teetotal prime ministers; of how pale ale fuelled an Empire and weak bitter won a world war; of exploding breweries, a bear in a yellow nylon jacket and a Canadian bloke who changed the dringking habits of a nation. It''s also the story of the rise of the pub from humble origins through an epic, thousand-year struggle to survive misunderstanding, bad government and misguided commerce. The history of beer in Britain is a social history of the nation itself, full of catastrophe, heroism and an awful lot of hangovers.

''a pleasant antidote to more po-faced histories of beer'' Guardian

''Like a good drinking companion, Brown tells a remarkable story: a stream of fascinating facts, etymologies and pub-related urban phenomena'' TLS

''Packed with bar-room bet-winning facts and entertaining digressions, this is a book into which every pub-goer will want to dip.'' Express
