I love beer*, I could give up chocolate, I could give up wine, I could give up chips, I could even give up bacon butties but beer? that would be tough...

* I'm very specific though as to what constitutes good beer... British bitter is where it's at for me, Timothy Taylor's Landlord, Marston's Pedigree**, Courage Director's, they are all decent bitters that actually taste of something. There are some foreign beers that are good for an occasional change (though nowt American***) and I don't mind an occasional pint of Guinness (or Murphys, or Beamish) but one has to have standards

** Rather sadly now rebranded as a 'golden ale'

*** American beer is like making love in a boat****
