Beer !


Recently LBR found himself in the envious position of having either no beer, or resorting to supping American beverages. Now, LBR has always been hesitant to take on American beer. Any country that has experienced prohibition could not possibly provide beer worthy of the name to this Euro-trash ale enthusiast. Indeed Peter Carey wrote about drinking an American beer: "What a jar of cat's piss that turned out to be." (Butcher, in the book Theft, p199)

Never let it be said that LBR clings to an opinion despite all evidence to the contrary. Given the choice between no beer, and American beer, the latter wins. In fact American beer is pretty decent stuff.
