- "Real World" as opposed to New Jersey, I assume...
-
- Belhaven is yummy stuff... right up there with MacAndrews (Caledonian Export
- something-or-other outside the US) among my favorite Scottish beers. Less
- heavy than McEwan's, which is also good but is too chewy for my taste.
-
- My only beef is that the enamelled bottle makes it slightly less useful for
- recycling for home-brewing. (my favorite bottles for this purpose are Guinness
- pints and any bottles from Elbridge Pope (as in Thomas Hardy's and Royal Oak
- Pale Ale))
