Friends create world's smallest pub in back of van

By Lauren Beavis

Two friends have created the world's smallest pub - in the back of a van.

YouTubers Ethan Smale and Jack Joy transformed their small Suzuki Carry truck into a travelling boozer.

The pair run an outdoor adventure channel, "All the Gear," and have turned the pub build into a mini-series.

The series featuring converting the van into a pub, road trips and even brewing a beer for it has amassed over one million views.

The beer-loving pals developed a brand new beer to pour in their one-of-a-kind public house.

They did so by teaming up with St Ives Brewery and beer distribution company Beer52.

Ethan, Host of All the Gear, said: "This has been the most exciting project to work. We hope everyone enjoys it as much as we do!"

Jack, a self-described 'lager man', and Ethan, 'a hop head', also documented their road trip to Cornwall to meet with St Ives Brewery founder Marco Amura - where they settled on a Pale Ale, named All the Beer.

The collaboration between the YouTubers and brewery is one of the first.

The beer is now distributed exclusively with "the world's biggest beer club" - Beer52 - which sends beer to subscribers in different countries from around the world.

Marco Amura, Founder of St Ives Brewery, said: "We love sharing our passion for the art of brewing with like-minded people, so partnerships like this are amazing for us.

"This was an opportunity too good not to take up, and being able to brew a one-off limited edition beer was a real honor."
