First time I was in Jamaica I went into the local village bar first day and asked, obviously, for a Red Stripe. Girl behind the bar says 'U wanna hot one?' Um, NO, it was 90 degrees outside. Turns out that Jamaicans insist that cold beer gives them gut ache!

Is place dropping an actual term like name dropping Tom ?

Currently sampling one of these as i write, watching the sun go down over Ag. Stephanos, Corfu..

YES. Mythos is an OUTSTANDING beverage.

Going to Oregon, USA next week, and I am told they have many local brews. If so, I shall try and sample them all.

Went to Jamaica as part of my honeymoon and was really enjoying the proper red stripe. On our Air Jamaica flight back from Montego Bay to the US I thought I'd have one last can. I was so disappointed to find that the can given to me on Air Jamaica was brewed by Charles Wells in Bedford!

Had this in Ibiza in 93 dirt cheap

I teach in Bavaria in Bogota and all you see is pictures of these girls everywhere. The beer itself IMHO is absolutely shite but the advertising is second to none!

Rarely can you get a cask quality beer in a bottle,but these guys are the exception

Was in Boston a couple of months ago and got stuck into the Harpoon IPA. By the way, had a delivery from Meantime today: 24 London Lager, 6 big bottles of London Porter and 12 Pilseners. It makes me feel like I'm on holiday.
