I'll Have a Pint With You, Sir...

You will have noticed that British food and beverages are a recurring theme in this blog, but one thing I haven't covered yet is beer.  We have many different types of beer, but one of the most wonderful things is the actual name of the beer.  Forget boring names like "Miller Light" and "Angry Orchard", and have a look at some of these!
