Combine your thirst for great British travel and good quality beer with this refreshing guide to 30 of Britain’s best beer scenes.

The British have always championed ale, and now a new generation are enthusiastically embracing beer, too. Like many of their fellow older beer fans, this new generation of aficionados loves to travel and rediscover home shores. Modern brewers are becoming increasingly creative in their offerings and a growing number of craft beer bars, brewery tap rooms, festivals and micropubs have sprung up in towns and cities across the country, embracing local produce and sustainability.

Beer Breaks in Britain joins the dots between beer and travel, exploring the British beer scene and also suggesting what to do in between pints (halves and thirds). The book focusses on 30 destinations across the country, steering visitors to expert selections including breweries, tap rooms, pubs and bars, beer festivals and circuits, highlighting local brews and live tastings with knowledgeable locals. The book equips readers with everything they need to know to make the most of their visit to the destination – delving into each area’s history and culture, and natural and built attractions, as well as giving ideas about where to eat and stay; everything you’ll need for a truly unforgettable trip.
