Beers, beers and more beers...

What better way to spend a Friday night than at the 30th Anniversary edition of the Great British Beer Festival. As Amy was in the Midlands making sure her blondness maintained its proper proportions, I chose to venture to Earl's Court and sample all that Great Britain has to offer in terms of proper ales.

My favourites from the evening after much deliberation include the Summer Wreckage from the Titanic brewery in Stoke on Trent and Old Peculiar from the Theakston brewers in North Yorkshire.

Cheers!!

...and as a side note: I found it quite odd that in the International section the only beers representing the U.S. were selections from Sierra Nevada and Sam Adams. Come ON!!! Please tell me that the beer industry hasn't deteriorated to the point that those are the best the States have to offer.

I quite agree with Marty, Sierra Nevada does a fine job on its own in representing the great U of S!
