Drinking English or Irish Ale in the motherland is a true experience--first
because there are so many to choose from, and secondly because they are truly
different from our watery semi-brews that MUST be consumed ice cold. That
Guiness or Ales are consumed warm, however, is a misconception. The brews
are served about cellar temperature--In the trips I have made over there I
have never had a warm brew, but cool--perfect for these full-bodied rich
liquid nectars.
That our country has embraced "Light" beer is an underscore to our not
knowing what real malted beverages should taste like. I personally believe
that the source of light beer is at the end of the urinals in bars--the
product of semi-good beers after they have been consumed once and filtered
through a kidney to remove the flavor. LOL.
But then, I love Guinness, Black and Tan, Old Speckled Hen, and the many
other Ales, Bitters, and Stouts available in Britain and Ireland.
My loose change on the subject. LOL
