The fantastic range of bottled beers from the region’s breweries, celebrated in this fascinating new book
GREAT YORKSHIRE BOTTLED BEER
By Leigh Linley
PUBLICATION DATE: 27th October 2014
The nation’s interest in craft beer has grown phenomenally in recent years.
No longer seen as the reserve of a by-gone era, a new generation of beer drinkers are indulging in the unique flavours that come from traditional brewing methods combined with the twist of modern recipes.
With a strong history of brewing, Yorkshire has led the market. New breweries have arrived to liven the taste buds and the established names are given legendary status they deserve.
Bottled beer has been key to this rise in popularity. Specialist shops now feature in the high streets and supermarkets devote aisles to the good stuff.
Since the success of Great Yorkshire Beer in 2013, and winning the Silver Adnams award for best writing in the regional media, Leigh Linley has continued to evangelise on behalf of Yorkshire beer. His knowledge of the market place has resulted in this fantastic new book that comprehensively guides you through the huge range of bottled beer available with tasting notes and a touch of brewing science and history.
Great Northern Books bring you Great Yorkshire Bottled Beer. Please drink responsibly!
