I’ve been meaning to mention this for a while, on behalf of our very own Tim Lebbon, who’s far too modest to blow his own trumpet. You probably know this already, but as well as being a beer blogger, Tim also happens to be an award-winning horror & dark fantasy novelist. And in his latest book, Bar None Tim cunningly combines his two main areas of interest in a post-apocalyptic quest for that most holy of grails:

Six months have passed since the end of the world, leaving a handful of survivors holed up in a Welsh manor with little to do but survive. They’ve made the best of things, planting food, drinking their way through the cellar’s wine and ale, and reminiscing about the way life used to be. But with supplies running thin, everything is about to change…

The arrival of a stranger named Michael sheds new light on their circumstances. If the survivors can reach Cornwall, a few days’ journey south, they will find a safe haven, called Bar None, quite possibly the last bar on earth.

Real ale and armageddon? What’s not to like?
