If we’re living in the global village, where’s it’s pub?
Meet Pete Brown: beer journalist, beer drinker and author of an irreverent book about British beer, Man Walks Into A Pub. One day, Peter’s world is rocked when he discovers there are several countries that produce, consume and celebrate beer far more than we do. The Germans claim they make the best beer in the world, the Australians consider its consumption a patriotic duty, the Spanish regard lager as a new trendy youth drink and the Japanese have built a skyscraper in the shape of a foaming glass of their favourite brew. At home, meanwhile, people seem to be turning their back on the pleasures of the great British pint. What’s going on?
Obviously, the only way to find out was to go on the biggest pub crawl ever. Drinking in more than three hundred bars in twenty-seven towns in thirteen different countries on four different continents, Pete puts on a stone in weight and does irrecoverable damage to his health in the pursuit of saloon bar enlightenment. Attitudes to beer and its drinking provide unique insight into the off-duty, celebratory soul of nations. In the course of his quest, Pete meets a wild cast of bleary eyed eccentrics and samples legendary brews in legendary establishments from Sydney to Munich to Barnsley.
Three Sheets To The Wind is a joyous, hilarious life changing adventure to the heart to beer.
