10It’s not all Beer and Skittles, by Sue Ellis It’s not all Beer and Skittles, by Sue EllisThe British love their pubs and history suggests our enjoyment of beer and brewing is longstanding. This talk is a gentle and hopefully amusing ramble through the history of brewing, breweries and pubs from Romans to the present day, with some examples of local pubs and breweries. As well as a look at their ephemera ( sadly no samples!)
Sue Ellis is a local historian in the Thatcham and Newbury area who has taken the idea of hands-on research seriously and has felt constrained to visit many of the pubs she mentions!
