Why? Taste? Nostalgia? Price point?



Taste for all three. Plus this way I'm not playing favorites with any one region of the UK. I'm getting the Scottish, English, and Irish beers and enjoying all of them. :P

You would so cry at how uni kids here pronounce the Belgian beers, by the way Lupine - 28/01/2010 04:29:15 PM 1215 Views

You are, as always, correct. Elaine - 28/01/2010 02:23:45 PM 1079 Views
I often drink Hoegaarden with food, actually. Legolas - 28/01/2010 03:04:00 PM 1197 Views

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 509 Views
Vodka and beer is a great mixed drink though! *NM* ranagrande - 28/01/2010 02:35:30 PM 681 Views
It's called "Yorsh" in Russian. Vodka mixed with champaigne is called "Northern Lights". Tom - 28/01/2010 03:37:24 PM 924 Views

You'll just have to visit the beer country and drink them locally. Legolas - 28/01/2010 10:10:10 PM 1049 Views
Yeah, basically impossible to brew real lambic anywhere else from what I've learned Brian - 28/01/2010 11:51:13 PM 1129 Views
And by basically impossible I mean it is impossible. *NM* Brian - 29/01/2010 12:24:46 AM 611 Views
I used to be able to find them in the local organic store. nossy - 29/01/2010 12:17:54 PM 1020 Views
