The story of British beers
The author Martyn Cornell has published a new book. “Amber, Gold and Black, the Story of Britain’s Great Beers”, his 220-page ebook which reveals how the beer styles of Britain have developed over the years, is now out and available.
The book can be downloaded at just GBP 5 a time from www.thecornerpub.co.uk.
Whether you are a beer beginner or a buff, Mr Cornell guarantees readers will learn things they never knew, about both beers they are familiar with and beers they have never heard of.
The questions asked – and answered – include
- Who really developed porter? (Not the man most other books tell you did it)
- How did India Pale Ale – IPA – really come about? (Not the way most other books tell you it happened)
- Is pale ale the same as bitter? (The definitive answer, with historical proof)
- What is the difference between porter and stout? (A full and proper explanation)
- What exactly is mild? And what was it? (Not necessarily what you thought it was)
- What were daucus, Dr Butler’s ale, mum, audit ale, O Be Joyful, OK, gill ale and dozens of other obscure beers, some still around, others vanished that once filled the pint pots of Britain? (Never heard of Cornish white ale? Learn all about it.)
And some of the illustrations are pretty neat as well ...
