[SOC] Beer Snobs

[normanmarj at optusnet.com.au]

Someone mentioned Theakstons Old Peculiar beer.  For those unfortunates 
who have never heard of this brew, it's a product of a small English 
brewery, and has an alcohol content approaching 11 or 12 percent. (to my 
mind, it tastes terrible).   I once asked a barman  in Worcester UK for 
a pint, and was told pretty smartly that he only sold it in half-pints!  
The pub, The Cardinal's Hat, had never closed since 1400 and something, 
and had the original licence to brew it's own beer framed above the 
bar.  It was signed by King Henry IV.
Kind regards to all
