Margot Robbie dons scarlet latex, Kate Bush lookalikes, and a glass of Emily brew: my whirlwind dive into Brontë fever
On a crisp afternoon in Haworth, West Yorkshire, I find myself sipping an Emily Brontë amber ale at The Kings Arms pub. This isn't just any beer – it's a homage to the legendary writer and part of a themed selection featuring other Brontë siblings, including Anne (a classic ale), Charlotte (an IPA), and Branwell (a porter). The bartender tells me Emily's version, with its malty biscuit notes, is the favorite – fitting, as Emerald Fennell, the Oscar-winning director, is speaking
