I have no experience with U.K. beers, but I understand that they like their beer warm. The thought of that gives me dry heaves.

As far as GOOD Canadian beer, none better than ice cold "LA FIN DU MOND" brewed by Unibroue in Quebec.

particular taste.

Well, they are made with different recipes. It's not just the temperature.

• Ale - made with a top fermenting yeast, ales are described as "hearty, robust, and fruity."
• Bitter - a mainstay in English pubs, this golden-brown draft ale is top-fermented, hoppy, dry, and lightly carbonated.
• Lager - made with a bottom fermenting yeast, lagers are characteristically "smooth, elegant, crisp, and clean." Comparable to pilsener.
• Stout - typically dark, heavy, and richly flavored, stout is "top-fermented beer made from pale malt, roasted unmalted barley, and often caramel malt."

They drink their beer both warm and cold, YJ. Warm beer is called 'bitter', cold beer is called 'lager'. And they do some some rather good lagers.

I don't recall falling down drunk in a ditch but it is possible.

in that creek water that can be dangerous isn't there?
Forget what the name is.

Others have voiced the same problem with leaky Tim Horton lids(see --)

Probably because i drink my coffee black.

any other black coffee drinkers feel the same?

It takes both hands while driving to shift the lid
