I will have to tell my husband about this ale. Yeah, a Google search will ensue to see where we can buy it in WA state. We have a very nice beer and wine shop in town too, so if they are told about it, they might be able to get it. Heck, I am still on the hunt for Mateus wine. The winery in Portugal said they still sell it in our state. Life is so hard...lol. I agree with you completely regarding your views on why people over indulge.

While I agree with your comment in general, I don't think this beer is for the pissheads as I outlined above: it's too grown up & actually has flavour. The reasons for the binge drinking issues are more rooted in a general failing of society, no fear of punishment and people thinking that being entitled to 'rights' is the same as doing whatever they like. Beer? Hi Ed. While I agree with your comment in general, I don’t think this beer is for the pissheads as I outlined above: it’s too grown up & actually has flavour.

Beer?

We have been in the UK over Christmas, and I am noticing a severe decline in the alcohol culture. A couple of parties where several party-goers were hospitalised because of binge drinking. Jeez, whats up with that? In my day we used to fall asleep before we got that bad. Well said, although this beer seems to be another example of the UK obsession with getting pissed.

If the name offends someone, that someone shouldn't drink it. If it offends a store owner or distributor, they shouldn't stock it. Which reminds me -- do you know where I can find the stuff in Chicago? It sounds pretty good to me....
