“Indispensible if you are tempted to bolt together mash tun, copper and fermenters” – Roger Protz

The microbrewing scene has changed beyond recognition since this book was first published nearly 10 years ago. The number of small independent breweries throughout the UK is now over 2000, with more opening every month. This handbook guides you through the practicalities of starting your own microbrewery; from how to brew, through to finding a place of your own.

This edition has been updated by Tim Hampson who is an award-winning journalist and is currently editor of CAMRA’s What’s Brewing newspaper.
