Description

The history of beer is a fascinating story that spans thousands of years. From ancient Egyptian bouza to modern-day lagers, Pete Brown takes us on a journey through the evolution of brewing and its impact on society. We explore the rise of the British pub, from humble beginnings to an epic struggle for survival against bad government and misguided commerce. Along the way, we meet characters who have shaped the world of beer, including those who have changed drinking habits and those who have made a name for themselves in the industry. Through it all, Brown's engaging narrative reveals the complex social and cultural forces that have influenced the development of beer over time.
