This volume comes from a city close to our hearts; a city of fine friends and fond memories.  Fiercely independent and unashamedly proud, Liverpool is a city unafraid to plough its own furrow.  From a once fractured brewing industry, a new wave of purveyors and producers are emerging and leading a cultural change in the city.

From the forgotten brewery who brought a little of the monastic to Merseyside, to the brewers on a journey of bold new tastes; our extensive exploration of the city reveals stories underlined by innovation and determination.

Away from Liverpool, we speak to renowned designer Milton Glaser, about his enduring relationship with Brooklyn Brewery and the challenges of maintaining a brand for more than thirty years.  Finally, we enjoy a beer with Service Brewing Co.’s Kevin Ryan, a former infantry officer whose commitment to supporting charitable organisations goes beyond simple patriotism, but is driven by a desire to effect change within his community.
