Do you have a question about a particular pub, brewery or beer that you’d like answering? We’d like to help, if we can.
We’ve acquired a ton of mouldering old books, newspapers and magazines over the last few years, as well as developing ninja-level skills at online archive searching.
And we love a puzzle, like this one that caught our eye on Twitter last night:
For the Beer Quotes Investigation Department: one a version of the other, or both bullshit? @QuoteResearch pic.twitter.com/X6H8xfo5wd

(The same quotespam website also attributes it to William Faulkner but we found a version of the same statement relating to wine in a book from 1821.)
As it is we occasionally get questions out of the blue which we always enjoy trying to answer and, a while ago, asked for submissions through our email newsletter, which led to this post about pub snacks.
Now, we’d like to try making this a regular feature, so if you have a question email contact@boakandbailey.com and we’ll do our best.
NB. If your question is ‘What does AK stand for?‘ then, sorry, but we can’t help…

I’m having some difficulty attaching a penny stamp to the comment form.
That’s be because your comment is anonymous, to which, as it clearly states, no attention will be paid …
I was going to ask “What does craft mean?” but that would have been too easy…
Reckon between this and Chapter 12 of the book we’ve exhausted that one.
Not a scintilla of hubris in this entire concept, then, oh wise one.
WINKY FACE TO INDICATE IT’S A JOKE
I have been trying to track down a pub in Great Yarmouth called
Kitty Witches,it was a Whitbread tied house with a smallish single room,the bar faced and there were lots of witches hanging from the ceiling,they were also for sale.
I visited the pub on quite a few dinner times with mates during June 1982.
The pub was in the middle of town and i have found a kitty witches row which leads down to the river.
Any help in finding what happened to this pub would be appreciated.
