  You Brew Good Ale is fully illustrated and tells the fascinating story of home-brewed ales from Medieval times to the present day. It traces the earliest beginnings of the public house and the beers brewed in monasteries, colleges, cottages and on country estates. These many different aspects, including the tools of the trade, are revealed in this review of home-brewing which at once encompasses social history, vernacular architecture, and food and drink in the British Isles.
