TOPIC:

The picture associated with this article really pissed me off! The article details Russian sailors drinking some sort of poisonous hooch, which probably contained some sort of rubbing alcohol, but the picture shows the old style dimpled pint glass, with possibly ale or lager in it. It's a very sloppy visual connection in my mind.

Rant over.

Meanwhile, a more positive article published in the Guardian (online only?) on the same day:

Goose Island beers are going to be available in Tesco starting in August?!??

I hope that includes Tesco in Ireland!

Why don't we invite a few American micro-brewers over here to set up shop. After all 'tis much nearer the UK market. Tesco could ship the beer back in their empty lorries!

After all if O'Bama likes it here so much then so would the micro-brewers. They could ship over their ingredients and with our great waters they could produce great beers
