HERE’S A PROPOSAL FOR A REVERSE BOYCOTT, encouraging Americans to buy English beer to show our gratitude. I’ve been drinking Newcastle and Foster’s lately, so I guess I’m ahead of the curve.

UPDATE: I posted this last night, and the email I got suggested that people understood what I meant. This morning I’m getting emails hotly informing me that Foster’s is Australian. Uh, yeah. But they’re our allies, too, see?

As for those who tell me that Victoria Bitters is better — yeah, I know. But I’ve only had VB in Australia. Is it even available in the States? I’ve never seen it.
