About the Book

It’s a humorous book set in the present in rural England. It’s about a young couple that inherit a small independent brewery hopelessly out of date but with the best water supply for miles around. They know nothing about brewing but inherit along with the plant an old and very wise company retainer and his dog, who have been loyal to the plant and their late uncle since the year dot. The local, large, and very unpleasant soft drink company has their sights set on the brewery’s water supply. The couple, learning more about their late uncle, decides to continue the business, to the chagrin of the opposition. Dirty work afoot in the vats.

About the Author

Kenneth J. Hall is a retired British mechanical engineer who has spent most of his adult life as a contractor working around the world. Of latter years, he became rather selective in where he chose to work and with whom. As a result, he acquired a vast store of interesting knowledge and background information. His books draw upon this experience and his characters are a mixture of composite persons with a large dose of pure fantasy. He has been heard to remark that writing is far better than real life as he can make his characters do exactly as he wishes. He now lives with his Indonesian wife and their teenage daughter in Southeast Asia and spends his time writing, sitting quietly in the sun, and drinking cold beer.
