    What I drink is Abbot Ale, be assured this might be a tad too much for the North American. Abbot Ale is 5%, don’t make the mistake thinking it’s anything like your 5% piss, it’s brewed differently, it’s a pure English ale, made from hops.

    If you can get some.....buy lots....it and try it. When I was a drinking man 7 pints of these was considered enough before you start talking gibberish (American) :

    Boddies is a good session beer. I prefer bitters but there aren't many options in the states. Been drinking Abbots for years. Strong but not sweet. I wish I could get Theakstons and Brains in the US.

    Theakstons and Brains are both fine ales. I’ve drank Brains on tap quite a few times, very consistent pint.
