Coinciding with Bristol’s Beer Week Waterstones are hosting a double book launch for The 20th Century Pub by Boak & Bailey, and the Pocket Beer Guide and Bristol Craft Beer Map by Tim Webb.
Bristol writers Jessica Boak & Ray Bailey have been blogging about beer at boakandbailey.com since 2007. They have written articles for various magazines and websites including the Campaign for Real Ale, Beer Advocate, All About Beer and Devon Life.
Their first book, Brew Britannia: the Strange Rebirth of British Beer, was published in 2014, and won them the British Guild of Beer Writers’ gold tankard award. In 2016 Fortnum & Mason named them Online Drinks Writers of the Year.
Tim Webb has been writing about beer for decades. Famed for his Good Beer Guide Belgium and other books about Belgian ales, in 2011 he teamed up with Canadian Stephen Beaumont to put together the World Atlas of Beer which has appeared in two editions and eleven languages and their Pocket Beer Guide is in its third edition.
He lives in Bristol, describing it as the most exciting place in the UK for beer and rapidly becoming one of the world’s great brewing centres.
