Περιγραφή για Man Walks Into A Pub: A Sociable History of Beer (Fully Updated Second Edition) Pete Brown Pan Books

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 Σελίδες: 432, Διαστάσεις: 12.9x12.9cm
