- Steve Dynecourt of Chicago Brewing Co. told me that they exported to the UK and
- Germany, but I haven't a clue where you would find their products. Good
- American beers tend to be low volume microbrewery produced products and tend
- not to be exported, although Sam Adams may be.
-
- I find most British beers to be piss water, and had the 'pleasure' of drinking
- DD on draught last week in Canada. They also had the piss Yorkshire Bitter,
- which tastes as bad in London, Ontario, as London, England. British lager
- makes some of the normal American beers look good.
-
- However, there are some good British beers that are imported into the US
- such as Theakstons, Bass, etc., but there is also Watney's Red Barrell...
