Title: Re: Have I mentioned, lately Post by: Tnphil on April 28, 2016, 01:40:50 EDT My wife has family that owned a Pub in London for many years. Americans don't know what drinking is until they drink with the Brits.
When I was in the Navy our carrier was in port along with a carrier from the Royal Navy....There was about 150 of us Americans and Brits in a bar one night. Us U.S. Navy guys wanted to show them who could win at drinking. About 2am all us Americans were passed out and the Brits had formed a big circle around the bar with their arms wrapped around each other singing God Save The Queen. To say they drank us under the table would be a understatement. :patriot: Title: Re: Have I mentioned, lately Post by: Clockwork Orange on April 28, 2016, 04:11:39 EDT Not really that much of a fan myself. I tried a number of beers in local pubs when I was there and nothing registered more than a meh. But obviously you've had a looooooooot more beer over there than I have. :dance:
I like some of the styles but I think in most cases the USA craft versions have been better than anything I had across the pond.

If you love the sour-Bud style American beers, they will not be your favorites.

If you love the sour-Bud style American beers, they will not be your favorites. I like 'em all. What I was saying is the American takes on English reds, browns, ESBs, etc. are better than the English versions I had over there.

Craft beer has a growing market in Rome now but you can't really get it at restaurants and probably not in stores-- just some bars that focus on beer, like Ma Che Siete Venuti A Fa', which is an awesome place. |
