- Not even comparable! That's not to say that they don't brew decent beer in
- the USA, just not _much_. The San Francisco Anchor 'Steam' Beer is quite
- good, although generally served too fizzy. There is a _magnificent_ bottled
- beer brewed in Cambridge MD, called 'Wild Goose', and the 'Brooklyn Lager'
- isn't too dusty either. However one swallow does not make a summer and _in
- general_ American beer is far, far inferior to anything the UK can offer.

- That also is not to say that we can't produce rubbish. Watneys Red Barrel for
- example. We're also in danger of being swamped by imitations of foreign brews
- which are, if anything, worse than the original, if that's possible. An
- example that comes to mind is the 'brewed under licence' Miller Lite. It's
- not even fit for washing out carburetters.
