Exhibit A: The Classic,

Drinks coffee only as a ‘piccolo’ or ‘gibi’, makes his own bitters and shrubs, collects waistcoats, has a tattoo of the Man in Black and has named his beard (‘Gustav’)

Exhibit B: The Rustic

Never seen without his hat, wears braces and a belt at the same time, hears messages in whale music and serves rye Manhattan’s strained through Weetabix

Exhibit C: The Organic.

Predominantly found in independent pubs, obsessed with craft beer, owns a three-legged rescue dog named Hops and an Amsterdam bike with one gear
