A Year in Beer: The Beer Lover’s Guide to the Seasons, by Jonny Garrett, has won the Fortnum & Mason’s Drink Book of the Year award.
The book offers a new look at beer, exploring the UK’s modern brewing scene and diving into the histories and unlikely origins of our favourite styles.
Jonny leads readers through:
- the hop and malt harvests of late summer
- the joyful fireside drinks and slow cooking of autumn
- the glut of Christmas beers and cheese boards of winter
- and the wild and fresh burst of new life and brewing in spring
He said: “I’m absolutely blown away to win this award, especially for a book with such an unusual take on beer. Writing and researching A Year in Beer genuinely changed my perspective on brewing and beer culture. I hope it inspires many more people to think and drink seasonally too.”
