I'm not a beer drinker and don't like lager. I do like British Beer in
Britain. Since I know so little, I've been told that the reason Pub Beer in
England is so good, is that it is not pasteurized, and like anything that
is not fuddled with, like real squeezed orange juice or fresh bread that
will go stale in a day, the fresh Pub beer can't be shipped to the States
without pasteurizing it or adding something to it...thus the difference and
loss of flavor. Am I all wet ? or is this true? By the way Moreland Beer is
best if gotten on draft in Abingdon, where it is made, and really best at
the Boundry House Pub in Abingdon because the Boundry House was the home of
Cecil Kimber when he was the Director of the MG Car Company. ( if you go
there look for the Octagon plague by the door with Kimber's name and mine
on it) There, got the MG content in.
