Details

In Ireland, a pint - having one, going for one, buying one - is a cultural institution. It's about so much more than 568ml of beer in a glass. But how did a simple pint become such a phenomenon?

With illustrations by Stephen Heffernan, aka Hephee, that perfectly capture the culture of pints in his iconic style, you'll find yourself working up a thirst and sending that text we all love to get: 'Pint?'

About the Author: Ali Dunworth is a journalist, consultant and events curator who loves writing and talking about food and drink so much that she's made a career out of it. She began working in pubs and restaurants before ending up behind the scenes in food TV, working on shows like Saturday Kitchen, Great British Menu and Nigella Lawson's series in the UK and RTE's What Are You Eating? and The Restaurant in Ireland. In between TV productions, she always returned to restaurant work, whether waiting tables or back in the kitchen. There were even a few career 'breaks', including a burger pop-up, taking a year out to cook at Lord's Cricket Ground and another year running a butcher shop in Melbourne. As a freelance food, drink and travel writer, Ali's work has appeared in publications such as the Irish Times and Food & Wine Magazine. She also curates and hosts numerous Irish food events and festival stages with a track record that includes the Big Grill, Taste of Dublin and Beyond the Pale. At the heart of everything Ali does is great local food and drink and a hunger for the stories that go with them. Cooking, writing, storytelling, washing up, pouring pints, writing about pints - she's done them all, and as a freelancer she's always prepared to do any of them again.

Additional Delivery Information (and some really important bits):

UK Delivery

Orders for delivery in the UK are normally despatched by Royal Mail, using the RM 48 Tracked Service with most orders delivered to you within a few days of placing your order with us. For larger parcels, Courier and Signed For delivery services may be used. Signed Books are shipped in our specially made book mailing cartons, with the books themselves wrapped in paper to protect them. Sometimes we may ship your order in several parts, particularly if you have 'Pre-Order' titles in your order or titles which are held in stock with our publishing partners.

The Really Important Bit: Because we use tracked, courier and signed for delivery services, please use an address at which your parcel can be received during the normal working day, for example, you may want to have your order delivered to your work address if you're not at home during the day.

Another Really Important Bit: There are a number of Postcodes in the UK for which we will need to charge a shipping supplement, this will be calculated once we know the size and weight of the shipment. For these orders we will contact customers to agree a suitable and economic method of shipping. There may also be additional time required for delivery to some areas of the United Kingdom. Where possible, we will ship book orders (under 2kg) by Royal Mail to all UK postcodes. Large multiple book orders and books over 2kg are often shipped via APC Overnight or similar, regardless of Postcode.
