From stories of monks making beer, to rumours of an unpleasant secret "ingredient" in a world-famous drink, there are plenty of great stories about beer. Here are six of them from the author of The Slab and James Squire: The Biography.
Glen Humphries is a journalist and multi-awardwinning writer. He's written two earlier books about beer, The Slab: 24 Stories of Beer in Australia and James Squire: The Biography.
He writes about beer at the website Beer is Your Friend (beerisyourfriend.org) and runs the micro-publishing company Last Day of School (lastdayofschool.net). If you want to buy any of his earlier books you can pick them up there. And he would really love it if you did. Glen is quite a fan of selling books. He is married with a child, lives in a house and has a stupid amount of books he hasn't read yet.
