The Canterbury Ales: Great Beers and Pubs Along the Route to Canterbury

Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales started and finished at inns.

Leading beer writer Roger Protz follows the pilgrims' route, starting in the George in Southwark close to the Tabard Inn where the pilgrims planned their journey. He then searches out the finest pubs, beers and breweries in the Medway Towns and Faversham, home to Britain's oldest brewery Shepherd Neame, before sampling the historic inns of Canterbury.

As well as recounting the fascinating history that can be found in these old inns, the book details many of the new craft breweries in Kent.
