The Real Ale Almanac

by Roger Protz

Encompassing brewery locations throughout the UK, this is a guide to all the commercially produced real ales from small rural breweries to city-based concerns. Brews as quirky as Skullsplitter from Orkney, Blunderbuss from Warrington, Devil's Water from Hexham and Monkey Wrench from Harrogate line up alongside giants such as Burton Festival Ale, Marston's Bitter and Boddingtons. Ingredients are given where available, along with details of reception facilities at each brewery and tasting notes to help the beginner understand the nuances and flavours of the various ales.
