Adam Wells has written the world’s first dedicated and comprehensive guide to this most wondrous of drinks. Beautifully illustrated throughout with stunning colour photography, A Drinker’s Guide takes the reader on a journey through the magical world of perry, with information on its troubled history, the many different varieties of pear, how it’s made, and, most importantly, a guide to styles, countries, regions and producers.
You can be sure that in years to come, perry lovers everywhere will refer to this book as the starting point on their own incredible journey.
A glorious, inspiring read. Exceptionally well written.
You could be someone with all but no interest in drinks culture, or even an abject teetotaler, and this book will not fail to charm, inspire, and satisfy. Mr. Well’s writing is exquisite, as pleasurable to read as it effective in provoking joy and awe for the subject and its makers. Mr. Well’s enthusiasm is contagious, and he somehow simultaneously captures a rousing call-to-arms and a gently pastoral, orchard-scented meditation. Loved it and will continue to look forward to his latest efforts.
