From the first human to the first blogger, Pints of History reveals history’s surprises, its misunderstood truths, and its puzzling twists and turns. Through articles, books, and booklets, we explore the past for its own sake and connect it to current news and entertainment – making history relevant and fun.
Welcome to Pints of History!
