Good grief. Am I the only serving hen here?

[Sean]

Yes you are... and is it too much to ask that the beer be served in proper measures?

[The Hen]

Bugger.

I just worked out that if I spill too much of the beer over my lovely paper sash (emblazoned with the words "Sanitised for your Protection") it starts to disintegrate.

Ooops sorry couldn't resist a few slurps on the way back from the bar ...

A beer that perpetually refills itself!

I've died and gone to heaven.

[Beer Sponge]

Do you carry this brand? Its what I drink now! http://www.lesbieresnouvellefrance.com/messagere-en

If so, I'll have one!

[Miles]

So wheres the beer, and the babes..................damn I would like both.

[thestoat]

People - PLEASE!!!

Cold beer?

Cold?????

Warm beer is where it's at

A cold drink acts as an aesthetic to the tongue, inhibiting what you taste - which is just as well, since cold beers taste like wee. Warm beers have a proper taste that is lovely.

If you live on a damp, chilly, mold-encrusted island in the North Atlantic, yeah, I could see why you'd drink warm beer. Those of us who actually have summer know the joys of a cold brew on a hot sunny day.

Especially at the ball park.

[Crackpot]

Depends on the Beer and what you consider "cold" and "warm"

[thestoat]

We get a great summer in England, I can tell you. Last year on a couple of occasions it almost hit 20 degrees! Ok, that was a little too hot for us - 18 is just about right

[Sue U]

I thought your people were from the Land of Pleasant Living?

[Guinevere]

Ha -- packing my boxes I found six perfect Natty Boh pilsners. So happy to have them, they probably belonged to my father or grandfather!

(and part of the family was elsewhere, before they found the land of pleasant living, others helped found it)

Oh that's just fucking cruel, brewed in the town I grew up in, I was weaned on that

I haven't had a pint of that since my last UK trip.

(I've still got teh glass it came in!)

[Sean]

You won't find any flames coming from this direction stoat!

Problem here is that they even chill the decent imported ales. You have to work a pint ahead to get the beer to a reasonable temperature...

[The Hen]

I agree we Ozzies do crap beer. I can never drink it as it is too cold for my teeth.

The stuff I tasted in the UK was far, far, far superior in every way.

If I ever start drinking beers, it will be at room temperature (as long as I do not live in Oz!)

Problem here is that they even chill the decent imported ales.

I found that - I spent 6 (wonderful) months in Sydney and the imported ales were chilled. The Ozzies thought it was very funny to watch me moan - they even kept my (chilled) beers under their armpits to warm them up for me - which was nice. Maybe there's a business opportunity there ...

If I ever start drinking beers, it will be at room temperature (as long as I do not live in Oz!)

Best stay in Oz, Hen - I reckon it is the best place on earth ...
