The Book - a Synopsis

What is the best ale in the world?

Would you risk all on a quest to gain it?

Hops was a desperate man. His beloved inn lay in ruins, thanks to dread sabotage by a rival. But would he dare all in the wilds to claim a prize that would restore his fortunes? No! Not a chance! He'd got underlings for that type of thing...

Barbarian troubleshooter Terry Testosterone and junior barman Roffo are plucked from their comfortable lives and sent with a mysterious monk on a quest to find this paramount brew. But can they survive the strange peoples and cultures that lie in their path? Will they be able to elude the attempts of their rival's minions to stop them? And should they do so, will they be able to best The Ale's bearded guardians and master the Ten Trials of the Wise? One thing is sure: succeed in all this, and they will truly have earned a good drink!
