Malt Miller don't know what they're talking about. To brew the best beer in the world, you need to be English. Sure, the Scots make a brew to wash down their whisky with and the Irish have successfully invented a way of disguising the mud in the Liffey, but no one can brew beer like the English, which is why everyone tries(and fails) to copy it. German beer? well, ask Stone Brewing about German drinkers- haven't moved on from lager and lime, really. Czech Pilsner? Ok while the barrels are being changed I suppose. Arrogant Basŧard? Your're talking to the original! Nothing Americans can tell us about hops- they think IPA is hop stew; delicacy and finesse doesn't come into it. And so on and so on ad nauseam.
Nothing to do with when the malt is crushed, plenty of breweries crush the malt the evening before the morning mash, England included. Now. The country that gave us Fosters! That thinks VB is a bitter! That sparkling ale isn't pop for kids. Do leave it out, Foxy. When it comes to brewing we're la crème de la menthe, as Del Boy would have it. And he should know.
Right. Who's round is it?
I'll have a pint of Stella, please, and a rum and pep for the old dad.
