After seeing several postings extolling the virtues of Anchor Steam
and when some turned up in the local liquor store I broke down and
purchased some [  $ 7.50 a six pack ].
[ I don't recall if this was Anchor Steam Beer or the Liberty Ale ]

Well let me tell you folks, this is the kind of gnats p*ss that got
CAMRA started. It was a putrid pretentious bottle of bilge water.

I'm a firm believer in the statement "there's no such thing as bad beer"
but this was as close to bad as I want to get. The taste was so close to
non-existant that I was reminded of Piels beer(at least that stuff is dirt
cheap [no I didn't buy that] ).

My preferred North American beers are:

      1) Dos Equis  or Tres Equis ( or their Christmas beer Buenos Nochas)
      2) Ballantines Ale
