Beer: The Story of the Pint : The History Of Britain's Most Popular Drink

Editorial Reviews
Roger Protz, Editor of The Good Beer Guide
“A magnificent contribution to the history of beer that should be on every aficionado’s bookshelf.”

From the Publisher
This entertaining chronicle of Britain’s favorite drink stretches back to the sacred brews of the first Neolithic farmers and forward another six millennia to today’s mega–breweries. It tells the story of Britain’s national obsession with brewing and answers questions like: When did bitter and mild originate? What herbs did medieval brewers use before hops? What was a Victorian brewery like? The British Isles have always had a beer culture, embracing ploughmen and princes alike; Beer: The Story of the Pint does ample justice to this venerable story. Martyn Cornell has written for 20 years on the history of beer, breweries, and brewing; he is the winner of the 2000 British Guild of Beer Writers Award.
