These days beer could not be more popular. New craft breweries open
by the week; most pubs routinely serve several draught real ales;
supermarkets stock an astonishing range of the best beers from all
over the world, and BrewDog raises millions by crowdfunding. Even
Majestic Wines now sells beer.But until now, though people have
always written evocatively and passionately about this delicious
beverage, no-one has collected all the best beer writing into one
volume - even though the same job has often been done for wine.Now
the award-winning beer writer Adrian Tierney-Jones has put that
right, with this endlessly entertaining anthology, packaged as a
beautiful small-format hardback perfect for the gift market. In it
you'll find great writing celebrating good ale from A.E. Housman
and Ernest Hemingway to Inspector Morse, Ian Rankin and Ice Cold in
Alex, as well as the best beer writers of today like Peter Brown
and Evan Rail, and the funniest, most delicious celebrations of
beer in fiction and poetry.
Cask ale, real ale, bitter...whatever you want to call it, it's
thriving and this book is the perfect drinking companion. Written
by acclaimed beer expert Adrian Tierney-Jones, this is an
accessible and interactive guide to Britain's finest beers with
reviews of over 150 ales and 40 perfect pubs in which to try them.
The unique journal format will help you record and rate every
tasting as you work your way through beers of every hue and flavour
from the nine regions of the British Isles; from the malty milds of
the Midlands to the sweet, fruity golds of the South-West. With
guides to beer tasting and styles, plus top ten lists of essential
beers for every region, this is a must-have interactive guide to
the greatest pints in Britain.
UK brewing has seen unprecedented growth in the last decade.
Breweries of all shapes and sizes are flourishing and the range of
home-grown beers available in pubs and shops has never been so
diverse. British beer consumers have never had it so good and,
headed by real ale, a 'craft' beer revolution is sweeping the
country. CAMRA have brought together some the Britain's top beer
writers and spoken to key figures in British brewing - hop growers,
maltsters, brewers, pub owners and critics - to celebrate Britain's
Beer Revolution. These experts look behind the beer labels and
shine a spotlight on what makes British beer so good. National and
regional brewers with generations of tradition rub shoulders with
new micro-brewers, and popular classic beers jostle for space at
the bar with modern interpretations and innovative new
masterpieces. All the brewers featured are dedicated to one
thing...Making great British beer. This book won the authors the
British Guild of Beer Writers silver award for Best Beer &
Travel Writer in 2015.
The lakes, lochs and rivers of Britain provided exercise and
relaxation to the people of these islands for hundreds, perhaps
thousands of years - until the advent of the cacophonous council
pool made us frightened of water when we couldn't see to the
bottom. But what could be more natural than a dip in the cool,
emerald waters of your local river as it wends its way toward the
sea? From the most remote pools in the highlands of Scotland to
hidden Cornish coves, the waterways of Norfolk to the Cumbrian
lakes, this book recommends the cleanest, quietest wild swimming
spots in Britain, and provides all the information you need to get
in the water with confidence - from advice on safety and attire to
tips on the best swimming techniques. Dozens of full-colour
illustrations will help you pick out a promising spot for your next
dip, while the unique journal format leaves space to rate your
adventures and record details of temperature and tide.
