Premise of Pubs

London: A magnificent metropolis with hundreds of years of history, culture, economics, and of course, PUBS. The pub has been a staple of British tradition dating back for several hundreds of years. These watering holes for the thirsty range from being historic, to the quirky, to modern, with a few being landmarks (thrown in for good measure), while some can be just a great place to have a nice pint of ale and a good conversation after a hard day's work.

With centuries of tradition and so many great pubs around the city, searching for that "ONE" pub can be a fun, but lengthy adventure. In the next few posts, I will start off simple by explaining the history of the British pub and how they became to be the drinking establishments of today, while holding on to their historical roots.

Pubs To Have A Pint In

Hello and welcome to Pubs To Have a Pint In. This blog is going to be used in conjunction to promote my upcoming book Pubs To Have a Pint In: London. This is a blog that is devoted to pubs, ale houses, and the taverns of olde: Mainly throughout the British Isles. In this blog I will dissect certain pubs, describing their history, décor, and interesting facts about the pubs in general. And of course, what good is a pub without all of the draught ales and craft beers that go along with them. I also shall be writing about the ales and beers that they carry and the associated breweries that create the fine beverages. They will be getting a "pint rating" as well. So while there will be a lot of information between these pages, this will be a useful resource to accompany the book when it is released later this year. Since the first book in the planned trilogy is based on London specific, the initial offering of posts will also be focused on London, however, I am sure that I will journey out to the rest of England as well.  So if travelling to the United Kingdom, and in being in search of the perfect pub, keep a look out for a post specific to the areas that you will traveling to. You may just find yourself on the hunt, up a creaky alley searching for that PERFECT PINT!!!!!

 

Thanks for looking - Charles
