Modern British Beer aims to highlight the cultural development of beer in the United Kingdom since the turn of the century. The first-person narrative will be told through the stories of approximately 80 different beers and the brewers who made them, and focus on how their influence has directly affected our choice at the bar.

This is the essential guide to one of the UK’s great beer cities. From traditional pubs serving top-quality cask ale, to the latest on-trend bars, cafés and brewery taprooms, Manchester is bursting with great beer and this new book will direct you to the very best.

London is home to over 3,500 pubs. The trouble is that 95% are awful. Dark, sweaty and tired. Says who? Says us. This small paperback tells you the only ones you should know. Whether you're after the perfect Sunday roast, great craft beer, a cosy spot to read a book, the best pint of bitter or a raucous gig, this guide highlights the capital's most exciting and, crucially, most stylish saloons in which to find it all.
