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 1070 Views

You are, as always, correct. Elaine - 28/01/2010 02:23:45 PM 909 Views
I often drink Hoegaarden with food, actually. Legolas - 28/01/2010 03:04:00 PM 1055 Views
I just don't like the combination. Sareitha Sedai - 28/01/2010 03:17:01 PM 961 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 443 Views
Vodka and beer is a great mixed drink though! *NM* ranagrande - 28/01/2010 02:35:30 PM 578 Views
It's called "Yorsh" in Russian. Vodka mixed with champaigne is called "Northern Lights". Tom - 28/01/2010 03:37:24 PM 777 Views

You'll just have to visit the beer country and drink them locally. Legolas - 28/01/2010 10:10:10 PM 902 Views
Yeah, basically impossible to brew real lambic anywhere else from what I've learned Brian - 28/01/2010 11:51:13 PM 919 Views
And by basically impossible I mean it is impossible. *NM* Brian - 29/01/2010 12:24:46 AM 513 Views
I used to be able to find them in the local organic store. nossy - 29/01/2010 12:17:54 PM 801 Views
