Well, I stopped by the store yesterday intending to buy a Stone ale of some kind. Geez, that stuff is expensive! I passed for now... maybe it'll go on sale. I bought some Alaskan IPA instead (it was on sale). Not bad.

Still looking for the American equivalent to Marston's Pedigree Bitter (the last remaining brewery using the Burton Union brewing method) "live" ale from the cask. Even the bottled Pedigree (when you can find it) is not the same, as it has been pasteurized for greater shelf life.

American ales tend to have hyped up the hops more than the English counterparts.
