Why? Taste? Nostalgia? Price point?




It's Abbot Ale, Boddington's, or Old Speckled Hen. Taste and nostalgia ;) Certainly not price point...we don't economize on the important things! I also like the texture of them, not as fizzy, even if it's not the same as a true draft pull.



Boddingtons?
While I approve of the other two, I really can't approve of Boddingtons. It is the Fosters of the ale world:P


That probably explains why it's the most widely available over here :D

But yes, we like it. Hush :|

None of the above. Real men don't drink beer. They drink vodka, or whisky, or rum. *NM* Tom - 28/01/2010 02:30:18 PM 475 Views
Vodka and beer is a great mixed drink though! *NM* ranagrande - 28/01/2010 02:35:30 PM 608 Views

You'll just have to visit the beer country and drink them locally. Legolas - 28/01/2010 10:10:10 PM 969 Views
Yeah, basically impossible to brew real lambic anywhere else from what I've learned Brian - 28/01/2010 11:51:13 PM 1003 Views
