OMG. Those aren't beers, CF, they're alcoholic tar

'Sipping
alcohol', as my grandad called them.
Quick true story: friend went to North Wales, and told an old local he
met in a bar that he came from London. Conversation got onto favourite
beers, and when my friend mentioned Fullers, and ESB in particular, old
guy said he'd tried some when he'd visited London a few years ago.
Apparently he'd drunk 3 pints, and then couldn't feel his legs any more
and had to be carried from the bar by his wife....
.... and, he said, "What's the point of having a beer that you can't
drink 12 pints of and walk home afterwards??"
Horses for courses...
