Abergavenny stalwart and curator of the Drinks Theatre Pete Brown celebrates twenty years since the publication of his first book, Man Walks into a Pub. That debut was well-timed: after decades of gradually being overshadowed by other drinks, The 21st century has seen an explosion in craft beer and cider that has changed the landscape of what and how we drink, attracting new people to these often misunderstood and maligned drinks, and Pete has witnessed, drunk and chronicled it all. Here Pete chooses beers and ciders local to Abergavenny that represent key points in this extraordinary journey, and shares some of the tall tales from the twelve books that have seen him named Beer Writer of the Year four times.
