Pints and Power—First Pour Early Release—is now available to order in both Hardcover and Paperback on Amazon.
What’s inside:
- 168 pages blending history, memoir, and Guinness culture—same edition we launched at this week’s event (just not signed or numbered)
- 11 Chapters weaving the story along a river of the black stuff
- The story of how an ordinary pint carries belonging, identity, and memory across oceans
- Voices from pubs and communities that shaped this project—Boland’s in Worcester to the Horse Shoe in Dublin, Ireland
Availability:
- Pints and Power is available on all Amazon marketplaces.
If you were at the Worcester launch, this is the same First Pour edition you held—just without the signed/numbered touches. If you couldn’t make it, consider this your invite to settle in with a pint and a good read.
Sláinte—and thank you for being here from the first pour.
