Man Walks into a Pub: A Sociable History of Beer

Pete Brown
3.99/5 (364 ratings)
Read Now Download Now
In "Man Walks into a Pub", Pete Brown takes us on a well-lubricated pub crawl through the amazing story of beer, from the first sacred sip of Ancient Egyptian "bouza" to the last pint of lager on a Friday night.
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 drinking 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.
