Disgusting
Sir: Why, when Britain brews some of the finest beers in the world, are they becoming virtually impossible to find in a growing number of bars and clubs in London and, I presume, elsewhere? There are often ten different sorts of tasteless fizzy yellow liq- uid from Canada, Mexico, Spain and even the United States, which, as everyone knows, makes the worst beer in the world, but nothing British. It's heartbreaking to watch as the hordes of young trendies swig this disgusting stuff, straight from the bot- tle, at £2 a go. Sometimes they even suck it through a slice of fruit stuffed into the bot- tle neck. In the Seventies the Campaign for Real Ale saved this country from the hor- ror of keg beer. Where is it now a much more serious foreign onslaught is under way?
