A lavishly illustrated hardback book celebrating and examining the
contribution to British brewing made by its family brewers(IFBB -
Independent Family Brewers of Britain). They are the often-overlooked
flag bearers for real ale and have fascinating stories to tell of the
early days of commercial brewing. Fully-illustrated, with modern and
archive photography of the breweries, their pub estates, people and
beers, this book will examine the past, the present and the future of
these great brewing companies and help to highlight the important part
they continue to play in the nation's brewing story and in their local
areas.
