Sounds interesting. Doubt it will make it to the UK.
Incidentally, there is a large painted Victorian sign on a pub around the corner from my house claiming to have served the world's first ever glass of porter, invented by the Truman brewery a stone's throw away. Porter is a great drink - it combines the best of bitters and stouts.
I have been drinking a fair bit of Theakston's Old Peculiar - very good, very strong, warming dark bitter for the cooler evenings and wheat beers and golden ales for the warmer evenings.

One day, we'll have to go for a good porter. :) |

| By the way, if you're looking for something that you don't have in your area, you might try here. |

Sort of on-topic. The other weekend, we did a trip to Bruges. On the itinerary was a brewery tour. The tour guide was an absolute hoot. Very witty. One of her best was the line 'We brew some beer here that's 4%....but that's for girls'.

MMM, and Double Bag. Though, you really have to be carefull with that stuff, it goes down too easy.
Oh, and Unibroue - Le Fin du Monde, and Ephemere are amazing. And yes, drinking them from brandy snifters does make all the difference. Ephemere is my favorite beer to have as a sweet brew with Chicken and Brie wrapped in filo pastry with a raspberry reduction (this is the standard "dinnerparty" fare at our house when the husband is cooking for a crowd).
Though, I still find it amusing that I pair beer the same way I pair wine... :)

Being Irish-born I think I have Guinness flowing in my veins! It's just about the only beer I can drink.
I find most other lagers and ales generally too...anemic. |

They've got good stuff too. One of my favs is Old Horizontal, but as it's name suggests, it' knocks me on my ass.

Hmmmm...
I like a lot of beers. A few of my favorites: Bell's Oberon, Boulevard Pale Ale, Spaten Optimator, Theakston's Old Peculiar, and, of course Guinness. |

My FIL buys a six pack of Boulevard Pale Ale every time he comes into town. He loves a good wine too, we have a cork bulletin board made entirely of corks that they popped ;) |

One of my favorite beers of all time is Young's Luxury Double Chocolate Stout.
Available at only the finest liquor outlets.. (and Fogg & Suds).
In fact, I'm going to go out in search of a couple of bottles of this genuine gourmet treat.
Yummy.
Damn you all.

I love good barleywine, hopped-up-the-wazoo IPA, smooth coffee stout and fragrant hefeweizen. Amongst other stuff :) Spazmo mentioned Old Peculiar. Yum. Dang, I really gotta start brewing again, or at least put a mead in the works for next year's drinkin.
Btw, Ying is ok for swillin' quick-like, the B&T is best, but the Pocono Brewery has been putting out some very respectable and complex little numbers like caramel porter and IPA... and a 6 pack is $3.90 here - which beats the price of Ying. Brooklyn Brewery makes some nice hoppy stuff, tho the price keeps going up. Dogfish Head Brewery (Delaware) makes a sublime kitchen sink brew called Raison D'Etre... it's 'spensive but it's the mincemeat of beers. |

Hrmph.. apparently Young's has a stock issue right now and nobody can *get* Luxury Double Chocolate Stout.
Blast.
So I settled for Guinness.
Can't ever go wrong with Guinness. |

I'll go for a Boddington's over anything else if I'm in a mood for a lighter beer.. but I rarely drink anything lighter than an Amber. Usually, it's McCaffrey's. |
