This is an enjoyable read about the pleasures of drinking, and the social aspects thereof. Very Toronto-oriented. Although it takes a humorous approach, it isn't a laugh-out-loud sort of book. It is, rather, a collection of light-hearted essays. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

First published in 2001 to national acclaim, Notes on a Beermat is Nicholas Pashley's ode to the amber nectar of the gods, a witty meditation on beer and everything that goes with it--from socializing to the solitary pleasures of a beer and a book, to the qualities necessary in a good pub. Most books about beer focus on the beverage itself, how to make it and how to buy it. Notes on a Beermat, the only Canadian book of its kind, explains how to drink beer and why it is absolutely necessary. With characteristic wit and charm, Pashley observes, for example, that "to ensure a steady and regular supply of beer, it was necessary to cultivate grain. This in turn transformed early man from the hunter-gatherer to the agriculturist. Even then, beer was making people smarter." Whether you're out for an after-work drink with colleagues or you're looking for a seat at your favourite watering hole, Pashley is your guide. His stories about searching for the perfect pub, the best time of day to drink beer and the silliest pub conversation he's ever had will leave you laughing into your pint.
