This concise booklet explores an important aspect of Edinburgh life - brewing and drink.

There are short histories of brewing & distilling in Edinburgh, a look at inns & taverns and the changes in drinking habits and at temperance pressures.

The rest of the booklet comprises many fascinating stories from people who worked in the breweries/distilleries, the pubs and the drinkers themselves. Some interesting photos illustrate the text.
