The Great British Pint - 1972 | The Archivist Presents | #292

Yesterday was the first day for months that pubs were open in England - but only those with outdoor serving spaces. I haven’t been yet but I am so looking forward to my first pint of beer - I’ll probably go a bit crazy like some of the folks in this newsreel report from 1972.
