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 1087 Views
You should record some of them so I can laugh about it. nossy - 29/01/2010 12:48:39 PM 930 Views

You are, as always, correct. Elaine - 28/01/2010 02:23:45 PM 924 Views
I often drink Hoegaarden with food, actually. Legolas - 28/01/2010 03:04:00 PM 1074 Views
I just don't like the combination. Sareitha Sedai - 28/01/2010 03:17:01 PM 980 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 450 Views
Vodka and beer is a great mixed drink though! *NM* ranagrande - 28/01/2010 02:35:30 PM 586 Views
It's called "Yorsh" in Russian. Vodka mixed with champaigne is called "Northern Lights". Tom - 28/01/2010 03:37:24 PM 796 Views

You'll just have to visit the beer country and drink them locally. Legolas - 28/01/2010 10:10:10 PM 922 Views
Yeah, basically impossible to brew real lambic anywhere else from what I've learned Brian - 28/01/2010 11:51:13 PM 938 Views
And by basically impossible I mean it is impossible. *NM* Brian - 29/01/2010 12:24:46 AM 521 Views
I used to be able to find them in the local organic store. nossy - 29/01/2010 12:17:54 PM 818 Views
