Ah beer ! A subject almost as close to my heart as music (possibly closer sometimes ;) )
I do feel sorry for you guys in the States as you really don't get beer as we do in the UK.
Best beer ever (imnsho) - Fullers London Pride - If you are ever in the UK and in London you have to try this. Exquisite ...
Just down the road (10 miles) I've got the Harvey's brewery which does an excellent pint of Sussex Best.
A bit further west is the Gales brewery - home to HSB (If the bottom's fallen out of your world drink HSB and let the world fall out of your bottom)
I could go on for hours but the football (that's proper football btw ;) ) is on and a cold Speckled Hen awaits me :D
Cheers
Dick
