thats a shame discover for the UK Folk, i always thought BEER had been discovered in UK and stolen by the Germans.
Many of the modern British people are descended from Germanic tribes (the Queen’s family are part German, also consider that Nicola Sturgeon (First Minister of Scotland) looks like a younger sister of Angela Merkel).
Beer has always been popular across Northern Europe since ancient times – the British have always been good at brewing ale without adding CO2, chemicals etc to it as well as bitter but since 1970s UK brewers insisted on selling mass produced keg beer and more recently (particularly bad in the 1980s) awful over processed pilsener (“lager”) which has not even been properly stored and matured.
Thus beer in the UK gets a far worse reputation than it deserves (and in the 80s/90s we British would much rather take drugs than drink any of it). Luckily where I live there are many decent breweries who sell “real ale” in the pubs and even the bottled ale is not too bad. Any “lager” in cans brewed by UK breweries especially with a “foreign sounding” name is best avoided unless you are desparate.
