March Or Die

[Sweder]

Honest answer? The stuff we get is gas-driven mediocrity compared with the nectar from the Emerald Isle.
That, and there are simply now so many better beers out there. The craft beer revolution is in full effect here. Within a short plod of my doorstep I have the following independent brewers:
Harveys, Burning Sky, Bedlam, Gunn and Longman. Dark Star isn't too far off and plenty of local pubs are delivering guest ales every week.

An hour away (by train) in London there's Meantime, Signature and many, many others I've yet to taste.
Same story in many cities; Vancouver has a terrific selection of IPAs, San Diego, too. You lot have Coopers and Little Creatures (and many more besides).
These beers are lively, sharp and tasty. Burning Sky have at least four ales I'd say knock Guinness into a cocked hat.

So much to do, so little time.
