Summary

So far the library has been stocked by over 40 books, each one detailing some aspect of the beauty of pubs (although to be fair some of those links have been quite tenuous). Our guest this week is someone whose writing sits atop one of the shelves at The Moon Under Water, it's author and genuine pub legend Pete Brown!

After Emma Inch and Lily Waite before him, Pete is the third 'Beer Writer of the Year' to join us in the correct realm, and he is arguably Britain's most beloved writer of all things alehouse. Is there anything about beer than Pete doesn't know? Probably not; but I'm sure Landlord John and Robin will double check by asking him every possible question there is about everyone's favourite golden nectar.

1:59.9	Hello Robin, how findest thee, thysan.
2:02.3	Yeah, John, I'm great. How are you doing?
2:04.8	Ah, well, in the other realm, it's dry January at the minute.
2:11.3	And were I speaking to you from the other realm, not the correct realm,
2:15.3	I would say it's probably been the most difficult day of dry January yet. We're on the 10th day of the other realm, not the correct realm. I would say it's probably been the most difficult day
2:17.7	of dry January yet. We're on the 10th day of the other calendar. We use the pre-Gregorian
2:26.3	in the moon underwater, don't we? Yes, yes. So I think it's something like, I don't know,
