Two Beers Until Phronesis

27. Pub Culture (w/ Kieran, Nye & Zach)


Listen Later

This is kind of a sequel to our episode "alcohol & sobriety". 

There was once a day when you could smoke in pubs, lager was considered a lady's drink and pints would cost 11p.   

In this episode Connor, Nye, Kieran and Zach talk about the history and conventions of the public houses - from the very first "pub quizzes" to the history of "lock ins". Since most of us have worked behind a bar and been involved in making beverages we also talk about campaigning for ale, cider mills and some of the moral issues surrounding the bar industry.
