Trouble Brewing in the Loire cover

Trouble Brewing in the Loire is the second book in the hilarious and best selling Braslou Biere Chronicles. With recipes from The Chatsworth Bakehouse

With the verve, wit and warmth that characterised A Beer in the Loire, shortlisted for the Fortnum & Mason Food and Drink Awards 2019, comes the sequel, Trouble Brewing in the Loire, a feast of humour, heart, mishap and mayhem.Burt, the hound of Beelzebub, has risen from the dead, Gadget the miniature horse has moved into the kitchen and Tommy has decided to expand his beer business, and on the advice of his wife Rose, is thinking about distilling gin, what can possibly go wrong? With Brexit looming, a second baby on the way, and sales of IPA beer plummeting, trouble is brewing in the Loire. Shortlisted for the Fortnum & Mason Food and Drink Awards 2019, Tommy Barnes' first book, A Beer in the Loire, told the tale of a year lurching from disaster to disaster as attempted to escape the rat race by starting a brewery in one of the finest wine-producing regions on the planet.

'A candid, brilliantly human book full of laugh out loud moments, and lots of beer'. Rosie Birkett. 'An anti-hero to the home brewer, Barnes' writing froths and unexpectedly eddies, his second work is certainly no stuck fermentation' 'Douglas Blyde, Drinks columnist Evening Standard magazine. 'If, like the late Peter Mayle, Tommy Barnes decides to write a sequel it will be a must read.' Life Begins at 40. 'He writes so well and is funny too' James McConnachie, author of The Rough Guide to France. 'Delicious' Daily Telegraph'. 'Tommy's antics are hilarious. Like Brewing meets Bake Off in rural France'. James Dowdeswell.
