Format:Paperback
This is a quite wonderful book. Despite its slender size and its frankly rather poor cover, it is a serious and in-depth history of beer in Britain. No period is given too much or too little detail, and areas of contention or mystery, such as how the first beer was discovered and brewed and the origins of Porter, are dealt with. There's even a section at the back of brewing myths and a handy glossary. I made the mistake of reading it on the train into work each day, and longing for a lovely pint of strong, hoppy IPA at 7.25 is a strange experience! The sad tale of the distructive conglomerates in the mid-20th century obviously gets some coverage (and continues: see what's happening right now to George Gale & Co - established in 1847; closed down in 2006?), but let's hope CAMRA has saved Britain's favourite drink. A must-read book for beer drinkers.

Very Informative, Well researched
19 April 2008
Format:Paperback
The author of this book certainly put in a lot of effort to research and organize his material for this extremely fascinating look at beer. Many interesting stories are brought into this book that make it a great read from cover to cover. I find myself constantly referring back to its pages ofr its great nuggets of information.
