As you may know, for some years now we have been emitting occasional Tweets @brouwervanklomp (https://twitter.com/brouwervanklomp). Now, we’ve taken the best of them, honed them and added exclusive new material to create Pierre van Klomp Says, “No.” We guess it’s what you’d call a zine – a 24-page A5 mini-book which we designed ourselves and had properly printed on rather nice shiny paper.
It was inspired partly by the pop-art style of Marshall McLuhan’s The Medium is the Massage but mostly by PVK’s own obtuse, melancholy wisdom.
In putting together, we also tried to provide a bit of a plot arc, from birth to death.
You can read a bit more about the background to all this here (https://www.patreon.com/posts/12164447):
Writing each Tweet takes maybe 10 minutes – it’s hard to squeeze in something ‘profound’, a joke, and get the voice right all in 140 characters. We read them aloud to each other (doing a gruff old Belgian voice, obviously) several times to check they work before posting… You know how it is – the ones we’re proudest of and think are really hilarious get no attention at all, while the ones we knock off on the bus earn plaudits. ‘No clue who this guy is,’ one esteemed beer commentator wrote, ‘but I think I’m in love with him.’
The new zine was primarily conceived as a bonus for our Patreon subscribers (https://www.patreon.com/boakandbailey) but even giving each of them a copy means we have a few left to sell.
If you’d like a copy for your home, brewery or pub, it’s £3.00 including UK delivery. Email us via contact@boakandbailey.com to sort out payment and let us know where you’d like it posted.

Alternatively, drop us a line if you happen to be visiting the Drapers Arms in Bristol. If we’re not already there, we can always pop round with a copy.
