Man Walks Into A Pub Zusammenfassung

Man Walks Into A Pub: A Sociable History of Beer Pete Brown

A sparkling, premium strength history of beer, served with irreverence and wit by an industry insider.Told in a witty and popular style, this unique 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 Second World War) and an awful lot of hangovers.

Über Pete Brown

Pete Brown used to advertise beer for a living before he realized that writing about it was even more fun, and came with even more free beer. He contributes to various newspapers, magazines and beer trade press titles, writes the annual report on Britain's cask ale market, sings beer's praises on TV and radio, and runs an influential blog. In 2009, Pete was awarded the Michael Jackson Gold Tankard Award and named Beer Writer of the Year by the British Guild of Beer Writers. (No, not that Michael Jackson, the other one.)
