Nice. Wish I could go

imo this country, for the most part, doesn't realise what a treasure trove of beers it has. People are content to drink watery, tasteless, gassy cr*p thats 'brewed under license in the UK' that people in the country that the beer purports to come from probably don't even touch

Muddy? Aren't you supposed to let the beer settle before drawing it?

Here Here, its so hard to find real beer in pubs here, and milds like gold dust!

I love a nice bottled beer too, "Hen's Tooth" is a nice one (from the brewers of "Old Specked Hen") thats bottle brewed for loverly taste.

YUM

Try black beers. "Black Dog" although not a mild is actually a traditional dark mild. Milds are around its just that they have changed name due to the fact that "Mild" isnt seen as being fashionable these days. Also dont forget not all milds are black.

Have you been the the Leicester Beer Festival? I've been the past 2 years and its pretty good. They do GREAT Samosas to soak the beer up.

Thats your choice and you should be commended on it. However, you dont know what your missing!!! Beer has all the vital ingredients for a good diet, water, sugar and fibre
