This entertaining chronicle of Britain's favorite drink stretches back to the sacred brews of the first Neolithic farmers and forward another six millennia to today's mega-breweries. It tells the story of Britain's national obsession with brewing and answers questions like: When did bitter and mild originate? What herbs did medieval brewers use before hops? What was a Victorian brewery like? The British Isles have always had a beer culture, embracing ploughmen and princes alike; Beer: The Story of the Pint does ample justice to this venerable story. Martyn Cornell has written for 20 years on the history of beer, breweries, and brewing; he is the winner of the 2000 British Guild of Beer Writers Award.
