Whisky
Back cover: A dram of fine scotch can transport us to Scotland Highlands or Lowlands, coast or island from anywhere in the world. This fully illustrated book looks at the ingredients and processes, the distilleries, the famous whiskies, and the wealth of colourful tales that make scotch whisky what it is. Inside front: Scotch whisky: words redolent of Highland vistas and wind-blown coasts, carefully guarded family traditions and the living heritage of craft-based distilling. Yet despite these very specific associations it is also the world's most popular spirit, with new devotees flocking constantly from across the globe. Scotch Whisky looks at the history of the industry and drink – from moonlighters and Excisemen through prohibition up to recent competition from trendier clear spirits – and at what makes each malt whisky so unique: the various distilleries, the raw materials, the distillation and maturation, the sometimes minute variations that can make tremendous differences in flavor and aroma. Looking as well at grain whisky and blends, it is the only guide you will need to scotch and the scotch industry, whether touring distilleries or relaxing at home with a dram.

Wisdom for Home Brewers
Prosperity in the 1980s and 90s almost killed home brewing. Many specialist stores closed and national chains stopped stocking the requisite equipment and materials. Even though times are now harder, home brewing for reasons of thrift has not recovered. Home brewing is resurgent, however, for a different reason. Beer-drinkers today are a much more sophisticated and demanding bunch than they used to be. The number of craft and microbreweries has soared, presenting modern beer-drinkers with a range of styles and varieties that their parents wouldn’t even have heard of. At the same time, thousands of beer-lovers make regular pilgrimages to Belgium and Germany, where they have discovered an ex...

Merrie England
The pub: it's been part of our landscape since time immemorial... hasn't it? And it's as English as the Cotswolds or the Yorkshire Dales... isn't it? Was there ever a time when there were no pubs? Who first had the idea that it would be jollier to drink your ale in the brewer's kitchen rather than in your own? And where do the French come into all this? These are just some of the questions Merrie England: The Medieval Roots of the Great British Pub seeks to explore.
