Adrian Tierney-Jones is an award-winning journalist and writer on beer, travel and pubs and was Beer Writer of Year in 2017. He loves nothing better than to wander cities, towns and the countryside lovingly and visit their pubs and bars. He has contributed to many magazines and newspapers and books include The Seven Moods of Craft Beer and United Kingdom of Beer, and has also edited three editions of 1001 Beers to Try Before You Die. He is often to be found in front of an audience with a glass telling tales of drinking beer in bars across the world. He lives in Exeter.

A poetic meditation on the public house, its history and place in our culture with some memoir deftly thrown in. Most of all it's an appreciation of what makes a pub great: the layers accumulated by decades - centuries, sometimes - of human interaction
