Retro look with modern wit: combines a vintage design aesthetic inspired by classic beer adverts with fun and witty writing, appealing to fans of The Little Book of Craft Beer or 50 Things to Do with a Penknife.
Beer is the UK’s most consumed alcoholic drink: with over 8 billion pints sold annually – and Ireland has one of the highest per-capita beer consumptions in Europe.
Practical, nostalgic and witty: this book speaks directly to a vast, enthusiastic audience, from pub regulars to homebrewers and craft beer fans.
Light and engaging dip in content: this classic ‘pick up and flick through’ format is perfect for coffee tables, man caves or loos.
