Coopers pale is a much better example of a British Pale ale and I prefer it.
I much prefer my own beer which I brew from grain and are British or Europen real ales

I'm surrounded by Englishmen: when normally I have little contact.
They are all gabbling at 100 miles an hour..exaggerated facial expressions and ticks..
Some of these expressions I recognise from parts of the Uk I am familiar with, but not intimate with.
even a bit hyperactive.
It's times like this I question whether my own countrymen are as sophisticated as the members of BE might suggest...!
Clearly this is not the cream of the bunch...(it's Ok I'm realistic about it all!)

As a matter of fact - I get on with people from a variety of backgrounds. You might be surprised - it takes all sorts to form an infantry batallion. I've seen it all.
I just don't subscribe to this notion that all British people are automatically better than everyone else. I am not, I don't expect others to be.
I wasn't going to mention this, but I saw a sort of snobbery whereby 2 couples spent hours talking about frequent flying points yet refused to narrow the distance between them - apart when talking about upgrades, when a woman got up, walked over to the other table, spoke to the other couple, then literally turned on her heel and walked back to the other table...don't tell me my fellow countryman are better than the average Australian!

I wouldn't say no to a Fat Yak but the reality is that is is simply another American style over hopped pale ale....very like Little Creatures Pale or some of the James Squires or other microbrewery clones....they are OK for a glass or two but I could not drink them all evening.

I get very tired of Bottled Ale very quickly.
Much prefer proper draught ale which , unfortunately , is not available here.
....and I don't mean chilled, kegged and pasteurised beer...Which is all that seems available.

I don't think I have ever bought a bottle of beer in a pub..unless it was asked for, in a round. I would rather have a pint of whatever is drinkable on tap.

The Coopers Clear - did I say Cold - I noticed that this one was moreorless full-strength and I gave it a go - also I thought my wife might like them - she went through most of them.
She is sporting a little tummy. Now that's a first!
