       Good news – I hope to try it some time. North America is becoming civilised at last in its beers, but I am worried that your weather is just too hot with all this global warming that I experienced in Chicago, Minneapolis, New Jersey and parts of Canada in the last couple of months.

         That -24 weather we had here last week threatened to boil over the vats.

   Question is the pint being referred to still the same volume as the pint of old? Is it still 16 ounces? If so, I can point to many studies that show that moderate amount of alcohol consumption is very healthy. ………. is why I drink, it keeps my cholesterol levels down. But, yeh, I’m just a health nut. Most don’t have the dedication it takes to consume the daily amounts I do.

   Suyts, I think those are Imperial Pints, 20 oz. Observe that the “pub glasses” sold in US specialty shops are well over a US pint.

   An Imperial Quart is 40 oz, I believe. When the UK metrified itself, there were widespread complaints that a liter was too much and ‘arf a liter wasn’t nearly enough.

     I’d thought that the case, but wasn’t sure if their pubs made the conversion or not. Thanks

   So while “I drink to make other people more interesting” I brew my own beer to increase my carbon footprint.
