Of interest to beer drinkers, and those who have visited Australia - who drink beer, I guess. In this short novel John O'Grady tells the story of James McIntosh - a pom on a reconnaissance journey for this British employer - a brewery, travelling around Australia to write a report on the viability of entering the market.In his journey Jim visits every state, and samples extensively, taking brewery tours and interviewing staff and customers alike.Anyone who has visited more than one state of Australia and attempted to order a beer will no doubt be amused by the constant explanations of fives, sevens, midis, pots, schooners and pints, and of course how every state is the benefactor of ‘the best beer in the world', complete with justifications.This is the first of John O'Grady's books I have read, despite owning a few. For Kiwi readers it is a bit reminiscent of [a:Barry Crump 60519 Barry Crump https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1310694758p2/60519.jpg]'s writing.4 simple and amusing stars.
