I don’t know how long I’ve known Adrian Tierney-Jones, but I do know I was a fan of his writing long before we had a first pint together. He’s prolific, curious, poetic, and the kind of reporter that makes other reporters want to be a better reporter.
He’s won countless awards, written many books, has a regular newspaper column, and is a well seasoned traveler. His latest book had him not only in his own neighborhood but throughout Britian as he explores the seasonality of the great institution known as the Pub.
In A Pub for All Seasons: A Yearlong Journey in Search of the Perfect British Local (Headline, 2024) he deftly unpacks what makes these locations so special, while also sharing details of his own life. The result is a page and calendar turner that helps reveal how different times of year bring out different experiences. It will inspire readers to get out of the traditional comfort zones and experience the Pub in all kinds of weather.
Adrian is a friend, so there are many tangents we take during this conversation, some name dropping of other friends and past experiences, it’s not unlike a session at the pub with a mate you haven’t seen in quite some time.
