🥃📘ANOTHER BOOK DELIVERY - STREET SPIRIT📘🥃

On Wednesday, we popped in to see Matt at Street Spirit on Steeplegate in Chesterfield, and noticed he didn’t have any of our books. He thought it would be a great idea to have a few behind the counter.

So, if you’re wondering what to get for that curmudgeonly old gentleman in your family, then a bottle of something rather special and a copy of Historical Tales & Traditional Ales, could be the perfect gift for a birthday or Christmas.

Don’t forget to tell Matt we sent you.

This is the furthest that our latest book has reached, unless you know different.... Thanks Chris Fox, and Dale, for finding it.

I travel 4,000KM from home... and the first bar I venture into has CAMRA magazines... 😂💪
