Life’s a Beer turns Rennie Ellis’s lens toward Australia’s pub culture, drinking rituals, and the social life that surrounds them. Shot through the 1970s and 1980s, the book captures the larrikin spirit of bars, beer gardens, and backyard parties—where mateship, mischief, and excess often meet. From rowdy celebrations to quiet moments with a cold one, Ellis documents drinking as a cornerstone of Australian identity, both humorous and unvarnished. It’s a cheeky, candid tribute to the way Australians gather around a glass.
