The only other countries that compete with the UK on beer-making are Belgium & the Netherlands, IMHO.

Well that's simply higgerant. Czech beer is superb.

After the collapse of Communism, Anheuser-Busch tried to buy the Budvar brewery with the intention of closing it down and securing sole use of the Budweiser brand in Europe. President Havel, himself a famed beer drinker, intervened, claiming that it would be "an act of the utmost cultural vandalism and crime against world heritage'. And he was right! *Damn* find stuff.

And it's by no means the only good Czech beer. U Fleku have been churning out just the one type since about 1292, so presumably they've got it right by now. It fair blows your legs off!

One thing Britain can be proud of: Along with Japan, we're the only G8 country that's delivering on its Gleneagles commitments.
