Discuss "Three Sheets To The Wind" by Pete Brown

Yes, it's February, when thoughts turn to love and romance, a perfect opportunity to look at a great work of romantic fiction ...

... but it's also the one-year anniversary of Books & Beer. And what better way to commemorate this momentous occasion than ...

a book about beer! From Amazon:

"The Germans claim they make the best beer in the world, the Australians consider its consumption a patriotic duty, the Spanish regard lager as a trendy youth drink and the Japanese have built a skyscraper in the shape of a foaming glass of their favourite brew. Meanwhile, people seem to be turning their back on the great British pint. What`s going on?

"Obviously, the only way to find out was to on the biggest pub crawl ever. Drinking in more than 300 bars, in 27 towns, in 13 different countries, on four different continents, Pete puts on a stone in weight and does irrecoverable damage to his health in the pursuit of saloon-bar enlightenment."

There's something attractive about the idea of beer being the basis for a round-the-world trip. It'll be even more interesting to see whether any of the beers mentioned in the book are stocked by Pub Italia in February.
