What seems to have brought on this fevered defense of ye olde english BEER
was my innocent remark that I was looking forward to finding out for
myself in a couple of weeks. I didn't say it tasted bad, only that I had 
heard that it did. 
I must say, however, that I am not looking forward to it as eagerly as I had
been.  It has struck me that all these english types raised on it seem to have
developed a taste for piss. One guy talks about cat piss, another about
gnat (!) piss. They are using these things as measurement reference standards.
If english BEER drives you to <that> it must really be something <awful>!
