An example of this is also the fact that "foreign" beers tend to be stronger and have more taste. They are meant to be enjoyed, not used in the "who can down 10 pints the quickest" games of a Friday and a Saturday night. Our variants tend to be much weaker and basically crap marketed to sell to the soft lads (and ladesses!) for the weekend binges.
I even read something that a lager brewer was actually putting a chemical into the brew to give the drinker a hangover in the morning! I mean, what is that all about?
