In the US, a person who orders a beer in a bar

You can ignore this thread.

Why? It's more interesting than a lot of the usual drivel.

Anyway, to posit an answer... There's far more choices of beer in the UK
than there are in the USA and it's not uncommon for drinkers to have
different beers in different pubs. Or even in the same pub. The UK pub
scene is grand. There's usually a vast choice within walking distance of
home and the tone is much more relaxed and happily sociable than any other
country I've drunk in.


I've been to the UK several times, but always had a problem knowing
what beer to order. When I found one I liked, the temptation was to
order that same one again, but the other temptation to try something
else looking for one even better.

It's difficult to find a bad one. On one trip I was (mostly) there for 3
months and set a goal of trying 100 different beers. Made it to 97 and only
had two that were ****e; Wandsworth 6X and something that I can't recall
but do remember returning it orally to where I suspect it originated, the
Shipping Canal in Manchester.

I've never been one to go to bars in the US. Too often they are dark
and noisy.

Ditto Australia. Plus full of bogans.

Pubs, though are a joy to visit.

Yep. Great life-style, especially in summer.

As they say; Cheers.
