Sports, Drinks and Trivia. The Perfect Combination for any Sports
Fanatic. In a perfect world everyone would be able to attend great
sporting events-the Super Bowl, the Masters, the Stanley Cup
Playoffs. But when getting to the game isn't possible, watching the
event with friends in the comfort of your own home is the next best
option. In Sports Bar: Cocktails and Sports Trivia, sports fanatic
and professional bartender Bryan Paiement provides you with
everything you need to kick back and enjoy the game in style.
Featuring 40 original cocktail recipes specially crafted with the
world's most famous sporting events in mind, you can impress your
friends with drinks such as "Augusta on My Mind," "Lord Stanley
Sour," and "The Brickyard Toast." And when the game slows down (or
your team starts to lose), Sport Bar offers amazing, often
unbelievable sports facts that will, when paired with a delicious
cocktail, spark conversation among your friends: Why are Roman
numerals used to number Super Bowls? How many calories does the
average cyclist burn during one stage of the Tour de France? Who
was the first woman jockey to ever ride in the Kentucky Derby? So
pull out your team jerseys and let Sports Bar inspire you to gather
your friends together for the game and a great time.
Dolly Perkins and Jack Larkin have grown up in the notorious gin
palaces of Birmingham.It's a world of happiness and friendship, but
also violence and poverty. Now that Dolly runs the Daydream Gin
Palace on Gin Barrel Lane she can finally control her own destiny,
but sometimes fate still plays its hand. Keen to expand her empire,
Dolly and Jack take on a new pub, but they are in for a shock when
a foul smell in one of the bedrooms turns out to come from a body
hidden in the wall. As the police hunt for their suspect, rumours
abound, spread by the local urchins - happy to be used as runners
for a little bit of food and a coin or two. But rumours can be
dangerous, and as one of the worst winters on record covers
everything in snow, Dolly and Jack have to fight for the lives they
have made for themselves, and for the urchins that they have come
to think of as family. Will the arrival of a new baby on Gin Barrel
Lane bring the promise of new hope, or will the long-awaited thaw
uncover new secrets and new tragedies... The Queen of Black Country
sagas is back on Gin Barrel Lane with a rip-roaring, heart-warming,
page-turning story of family, friendship and beating the odds.
Perfect for fans of Val Wood and Lyn Andrews. Praise for Lindsey
