A beer in the Loire - Tommy Barnes

Tommy Barnes was fed up; frustrated by his boring job, loathing the daily commute and to cap it all, failing to make it as a stand-up comedian.
But he didn't break; he made himself redundant and took off to France with girlfriend Rose. Settled in a dilapidated house in the Loire they are plagued by
calamities (mainly of Tommy's making), excitable neighbours ,
a destructive puppy and an unexpected pregnancy. When it looks like the money has run out.
Tommy has an epiphany.
Beer will save him, of course it will, it always has.
After all there is a craft beer revolutions sweeping the world. Sadly it turns out that 20 years of drinking beer doesn't qualify you to brew it.
