Summary

Roger Protz, in themed chapters and using easily digested quotations, demonstrates how deeply beer and pubs are woven into the DNA of British culture. The book runs the gamut of culture, from Eastenders to Dickens, and is ideal for the casual reader looking for beer-based entertainment or for the more studious one who wants to gather a sense of how Britain’s national drink—and the consumption of it—have been represented in many media. Selections range from The Winter's Tale to Far from the Madding Crowd to Dubliners, and many more.
