Last year, my wife and I made a trip to the UK-- several different
cities around Wales and southern England. Beautiful fucking country.
Anyway, I'm not much into the beer, but I do like the whiskey, and I
had some nice samples for the first time there: Ardbeg and Laphroaig,
perhaps? There was another that began with an "o" that I wish I could
remember-- I don't think it was Oban, but I can't find reference to it.
I had some in a little pub, around Ciliau Aeron (on the A482, near
Aberaeron). My lord that was a great vacation.

Mind you, when I did drink...Stout all on its own
was a bit
"thick". Used to
have what they call a portagaff. Equivalent of
half stout and half
seven up.
Back home it was Vic Bitter or Coopers Ale... but
that was a long
time ago.
I'm more of an ale man myself, but stout is good too, "would you like
a
slice of my beer while we wait for yours?". And for the person
spreading
viscious roumours earlier, beer in britain is typically served at
*slightly under room temperature*! Hows that for progress.
OT: I recently confirmed freqencuty told tale that guiness in ireland
is
OK (normally I cant stand the stuff). It really is different,
doesnt
taste of ash.
