The Tale of John Barleycorn

The ballad of John Barleycorn is still sung in England today, replaying the age-old story of grain, the essential component of beer-making. From planting, harvesting, brewing, and celebrating, this ballad covers the entire process and includes a new and improved bathtub recipe! Restored with the lovely and appropriate calligraphy by George Laws, and the expressive vignettes and initial letters. Finally: a book you've been waiting for; a classic for the intelligent and sophisticated beer drinker!
