Patrick O’Neill studied physics and spent more than 30 years working as an engineer in the electronics industry. His science and engineering experience proved useful in running CAMRA beer festivals and, for several decades, the bar and cellar of a busy Private Members’ Club, and this book was produced as a result of that experience. The technical aspects of making, keeping and selling beer have always been of consuming interest to him.

"Even if you're not looking to work in a pub, you need this book to show you what goes on behind the scenes, and help you understand what to expect from a good pub.  Highly recommended!" —World of Beers
