the Brits, who drink the stuff at room temperature and it tastes like.... well, what I would imagine burro's piss would taste..
I'm not sure what went wrong with the Brits. They used to have GOOD beer! Excellent! But that was 30 years ago. My understanding is that, as had happened here well before that, all the little breweries that produced that good beer (had to, or all those others would eat them for lunch) got swallowed by the big guys. Pretty soon a few brands that taste like burro piss.

For SOME strange reason it's legal for stoplight running though. Maybe one of our legal eagles can enlighten us.
