Of course, real ale is found in most places in the US for those who like to taste their "beer".

I can definitely appreciate the finer things in life. Or I would not be into HT.......and definitely not into BD! But after strolling through Paris on a hot and sweltering summer day, you just got to wonder when someone serves you a WARM beer!!

And besides, I like my cold, tasteless fizzy water!!!
