‘In conclusion, there is some evidence that circa 1966 John Lennon made a remark about the difficulty of experiencing a “quiet pint” in a favorite Liverpool pub.’ So states a blog post by Garson O’Toole, the famous consulting quote investigator (http://quoteinvestigator.com/2014/08/03/fame-pint/), responding to a query we made last year (http://boakandbailey.com/2013/04/what-did-john-lennon-say-about-beer/).
