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 are, as always, correct. Elaine - 28/01/2010 02:23:45 PM 1292 Views
I often drink Hoegaarden with food, actually. Legolas - 28/01/2010 03:04:00 PM 1387 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 604 Views
Vodka and beer is a great mixed drink though! *NM* ranagrande - 28/01/2010 02:35:30 PM 879 Views
It's called "Yorsh" in Russian. Vodka mixed with champaigne is called "Northern Lights". Tom - 28/01/2010 03:37:24 PM 1129 Views

You'll just have to visit the beer country and drink them locally. Legolas - 28/01/2010 10:10:10 PM 1252 Views
Yeah, basically impossible to brew real lambic anywhere else from what I've learned Brian - 28/01/2010 11:51:13 PM 1525 Views
And by basically impossible I mean it is impossible. *NM* Brian - 29/01/2010 12:24:46 AM 812 Views
