Is that why you guys send that shit over here in such vast numbers?

It breaks my heart to see kids in UK pubs swilling Bud and Corona, but I can't blame a company for selling its product where there's a demand for it.
I've read a few news stories that said high-end beer is continuing to sell well in the U.S. despite the economic downturn. It seems like a new brewpub or beer-themed establishment is opening every month here in San Antonio.
The pub I frequent just bought this. I see it all over town. You can rent it for group excursions and it runs on the pubs' fryer oil, so the exhaust smells like fish & chips.

I see it's neither a standard Routemaster, nor owned/founded by Brits, and also I suspect risking a lawsuit from TfL. Good work there.
The only authentic thing about the place is that there's a grumpy British guy sitting at the bar most afternoons.
I'd be grumpy too. You should encourage him to make a formal complaint to the implied notion that Brits would fry tomatoes in garlic for breakfast, and have bacon OR sausages. Vile.
Best beer commercial of all time?
Water.
Lovely, lovely tea.

I love Corona! It's one of very few alcoholic drinks I actually like the taste of.
In Brighton there's a 'Big Lemon' bus service that runs on used chip oil too, and smells of fish and chips. Yum.
Found a 6-pack of this at my local grocer and decided to splurge (it was $12.50) because it's my birthday. I can hardly wait until the workday is done.
Happy birthday. \o/
Happy Birthday DaButt!
Thanks. My son is in California and I canceled my trip to Florida, so it'll just be me and the cat celebrating tonight. I wonder if Butch the Cat likes beer?
Could you not go down the pub?

I may stop by on the way home from work. It's 5 miles from my house and there's no public transport other than unreliable/expensive taxis, so my level of celebration will have to be more mild than I'd prefer.
