A Compendium of Irish Pints: The Culture, Customs and Craic by Ali Dunworth

In Ireland, a pint having one, going for one, buying one is a cultural institution. Its about so much more than 568ml of beer in a glass. But how did a simple pint become such a phenomenon?

In A Compendium of Irish Pints, Ali Dunworth delves into the culture, customs and craic surrounding pints in Ireland, from airport pints to unplanned pints, pints for celebrations and pints for commiserations, festival pints, quiet pints, crisps and pints and everything in between.

With illustrations by Stephen Heffernan, aka Hephee, that perfectly capture the culture of pints in his iconic style, youll find yourself working up a thirst and sending that text we all love to get: Pint?

Ali Dunworth is a journalist, consultant and events curator who loves writing and talking about food and drink so much that shes made a career out of it. She began working in pubs and restaurants before ending up behind the scenes in food TV, working on shows like Saturday Kitchen, Great British Menu and Nigella Lawsons series in the UK and RTEs What Are You Eating? and The Restaurant in Ireland. In between TV productions, she always returned to restaurant work, whether waiting tables or back in the kitchen. There were even a few career breaks, including a burger pop-up, taking a year out to cook at Lords Cricket Ground and another year running a butcher shop in Melbourne. As a freelance food, drink and travel writer, Alis work has appeared in publications such as the Irish Times and Food & Wine Magazine. She also curates and hosts numerous Irish food events and festival stages with a track record that includes the Big Grill, Taste of Dublin and Beyond the Pale. At the heart of everything Ali does is great local food and drink and a hunger for the stories that go with them. Cooking, writing, storytelling, washing up, pouring pints, writing about pints shes done them all, and as a freelancer shes always prepared to do any of them again. || Stephen Heffernan is a designer and illustrator who is best known for his work on Instagram under the name Hephee (pronounced heff-ee).
