However, I think you have a blind spot with regard to American beer (which, no doubt, we have toward Irish beer). There is a pretty bright line separating styles of beer in the US. 96% of the beer sold here is fizzy yellow water. <i>Ninety-six percent.</i> When I say "macro," most Americans take my meaning--it's less to do Jeff Alworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02930119177544342495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-17211559217408229982010-06-14T08:29:21.135-07:002010-06-14T08:29:21.135-07:00Never mind the problem over the Guinness, I'm ...Never mind the problem over the Guinness, I'm still trying to work out why you'd take Rolling Rock over Widmer?<br /><br />(& no, I'm not stalking you BeerNut, though a stalker would say that wouldn't he?)MicMachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08464263001561643944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-79515918067288875702010-06-13T15:03:46.976-07:002010-06-13T15:03:46.976-07:00Predictable, ain't I?
