Cheers! Drinks and drinking in Jersey through the ages

Alasdair Crosby has put together this fantastic new book tracing the history of drinks and drinking in Jersey from prehistoric times all the way to the modern day.

At its best, the enjoyment of moderate drinking is a welcome temporary remission from the cares and stresses of daily life. From the mead enjoyed by the early inhabitants of the Island, to the cider of later years and the beer, wine and spirits of modern times, alcohol has always been a part of Jersey people's daily life. The history of its production and consumption is an integral part of the history of the Island, which it is the aim of this book to chronicle - from Alasdair Crosby's inroduction.
