the beer served will be Shit!
This would have been the perfect opportunity to showcase british local beers and wines to the world - actually generate some new international business to help get us out of this recession.
but no, Heineken - one of the blandest beers ever - paid a couple of million and now no other beer is allowed on site.
fuck LOCOG, fuck this Governement[/quote]
I read somewhere that Europeans are following suit with America’s macrobrew popularity… with more and more Europeans opting for a Budweiser rather than a [better] local brew. Anheuser-Busch inBev will own us all one day - they already own something crazy like 80-90% of the beer market in the USA.
A ton of awesome beer styles (Pale ales, IPA’s, Nut browns, bitters, milds, porters, etc) all originated in England… it would be a damn shame if England got taken over by Anheuser-Busch.[/quote]

its a shame, because it’s always the non-mainstream beers that are the best
I really like Goose Island, Blue Moon and Sera Navada from the US[/quote]
The Blue Moon summer ale is one of the best ive had, it’s got some honey flavor to it; look for the yellow packaging. Sierra Nevada IPA is one of the best.

this what the freakin’ MASCOTS look like![/quote]
When i first saw the mascots on the tv, i thought it was an advert for toothpaste. I wonder if they’ll bring in a beat the shit out of the mascot event? I’d like tickets to that.
ps: I’m from the southeast, not far from the hogs back brewery.
