Let's have a brew

# Day 5

Let's have a brew.
Today, my research is about the "brew culture" in Manchester and Salford. I found out that Manc's "brew" always means tea and beer, but not coffee. Tea is king in Manchester. Tea rooms are springing up all over the place, making tea trendy and putting the joy back into baked cakes. Finger sandwiches, scones with clotted cream and a pot of Earl Grey tea or glass of champagne, what a better way to spend the afternoon. There is nothing more important and quintessentially than the ritual of Afternoon Tea. There are a lot of great spot for tea and beer, so get a drink and relax.
