Ep 56 - Great Britain's Alcohol Legacy!

This Episode was Recorded on January 30th, 2023

Guest: Henry Jeffreys (Author of "Empire of Booze").

Henry was born in London. After graduating from the University of Leeds, where he studied English and Classical Literature, he worked in the wine trade for two years before moving into publishing

Henry is a drinks expert and an award-winning author. His writing has appeared in the Guardian, the Daily Telegraph, BBC Good Food and the Spectator, and he was the Features Editor at spirits specialists Master of Malt.

Henry has authored three books about alcohol specifically: Empire of Booze (2016), and The Home Bar (2018), and The Cocktail Dictionary (2020).

In Henry’s first book, one that we’re certainly taken with, is a loose history of Britain, cleverly and humorously told through its contributions to alcohol, charting the rise of British power from its small corner of Europe to global preeminence. Each chapter features a historical period and a drink—tracing its origins and examining its impact on British culture, literature, science, philosophy and religion.

You can find Henry's book available on Amazon:

We hope you enjoy the episode!

Cheers!
