Wow. That was quite entertaining. Can’t say much for the cinematography, but this was a fascinating look into the beer culture in England. Besides the eponymous beer tickers, there’s a peek at pub culture, the decline of big breweries against the rise of real ale and craft beer (sound familiar?), local beer festivals, and just a solid snapshot of what it’s like to be a beer lover in Britain. I think I like these blokes. Makes me wonder how many ticks I would have, if I’d been counting…
I watched this a while ago and I thought it was amazing! It made me want to get over there ASAP to have a pint with some of those old-timers!
