3.2 Beer From Across The Pond

Tetley's English Ale

Impulsively picked up a 4-pack of this at the local grocer a few weeks back. Nearly forgettable except for the fact that it does actually have a hint of tea flavor to it and a widget inside. Very smooth and drinkable. (Like what beer isn't "drinkable" you pretentious a-hole?)

Basically, you've got a British 3.2 beer here. I don't suppose everyone has lived in an area that has 3.2 percent beer. In Colorado 3.2 beer is available as sort of a training beer for youngsters of a certain age, while the stronger spirits are reserved for those who've attained a more seasoned status chronologically speaking. The law (last I heard) prohibited stores from selling both types of beer; I guess to avoid accidentally selling some of the higher octane good stuff to a younger beer trainee.

With a its low alcohol content, you could probably pound these the better part of an afternoon and not have much ill effect buzzwise. I may need to go back and find more come the hottest days of summer to see what's the guzzling factor with this stuff, and what better time to test the guzzle-isheousness of a beer than when the temperature outside is 118 degrees, right? (Yeah, "guzzle-isheousness," check it out.)

Bottom line, skip this unless you're a beer collector.
