“I used to drink brown and mild but beer in the 1970s was so rubbish that I eventually succumbed to lager… [Then]*I discovered the Firkin pubs, Bruce’s Brewery… I had a pint of Whale Ale and thought, wow, this is fantastic! This is how beer is supposed to be… I could be wrong but I don’t think that in ten*years, the police have never been called to a micropub. There’s twice as many hops in real ale as in lager, and hops are soporific – they make you sleepy and peaceful.”

Martyn Hillier, founder of the first micropub*and godfather of the micropub movement, in an interview with one of the authors of this blog, 12/05/2015.
