    I was listening to this on Radio 4 last Sunday afternoon in my car just as I was about to rope in my latest haul. Was keenly listening until I remembered the catalogue of errors about British brewing in the Oxford Companion to Beer (which incidently is on offer at about £17 on amazon uk)and switched off. Funnily, I didn't pick up a single American beer this visit which is totally unprecedented. The power of suggestion.

    likewise on not picking up any yank brews having said that there was no decent U.S. beers available from
    Tesco or ASDA or Waitrose or B&M's or Aldi or Sainsburys or Marks and Spencers.

    And is it just me or is SN PA not nearly as ubiquitous in UK supermarkets as it once was? Was in the ever cheery ASDA today and it was gone and replaced by... Blue Moon. Oh my.

    I find SNPA in all my locals actually- Tesco, Sains, Waitrose and Morrisons. Blue moon as well, though. Glad to see Goose Island taking hold too.
