How Booze Shaped Britain: Alcohol Historian Reveals The Truth About UK Drinking

How Booze Shaped Britain: Alcohol Historian Reveals The Truth About UK Drinking

Jane Peyton is one of Britain’s most celebrated drinks experts—an award-winning author, broadcaster, and founder of the School of Booze, renowned for her engaging education on beer, cider, and wine. As the UK’s first certified Pommelier (cider sommelier) and Beer Sommelier of the Year, Jane has written eleven books on alcoholic drinks, spearheaded Beer Day Britain, and earned accolades including a Guinness World Record for the world’s largest beer tasting. Her passion for the cultural history of alcohol, pub heritage, and the evolving drinks landscape has made her a sought-after voice on radio, TV, and historic pub tours.

Why do pubs hold such a unique place in British life? What are the health and nutritional debates around alcohol? How are non-alcoholic drinks and changing attitudes redefining social drinking? Jane and Jacob Watson-Howland explore the economics of Wetherspoons, the benefits of moderate consumption, and the educational mission behind the School of Booze.

Expect myth-busting insights on alcohol’s history, the overlooked contributions of women brewers, the real story behind pub culture, and the future of drinking in a rapidly changing world
