Customer Reviews

surprisingly good
I picked this up thinking it would do as a stocking filler for anyone keen on Morrissey or Men Behaving Badly. However, having had a good look through I'd say that this book has enough bar jokes and anecdotes to satisfy the men behaving fans but also has a number of really good brewing recipes and beer tips to genuinely interest amateur beer brewers and enthusiasts. Overall, a very good read.

Made a great gift
I bought this for a gift for a beer loving drinker and he really enjoyed the book whilst drinking a pint!

Utter Tripe
This book, like the TV show, suggests that this pair know very little about their chosen subject.

The content is very thin, any half-wit could have garnered this information from a quick skim through a few relevant editions down at the local library, & then padded it out with typical, typecast naughty schoolboy humour (at its most obvious base - farting, spewing, etc.) Unfortunately the vast majority of (info'?) in this book is more of the shallow, "funny" stuff, and less of any real, genuine interest. There is absolutely nothing new here.

These guys completely miss their desired demographic, that is unless it was aimed at schoolboys who, being too young to drink (legally), their desired brew would most likely be cheap tinned lager or cider, as it's common knowledge that "ale" is for old men.
