What are cask ales?

[Thumper]

My ribbing of sparklers is mostly just tongue-in-cheek parochialism, but I am a southerner and am used to the southern way of pouring a beer. While it isn't that big of a deal, I honestly don't understand why you'd put so much effort into making beer thick. They seem designed to make everything feel like a bloody Boddingtons on the tongue.

Now you've said it, I'm sure beers poured through a sparkler all taste the same too, but I'm sure that's just my imagination.

Hoy! you're talking to Northerners and we are not used to being talked to like that ... "paro..." what?

Good ol' Google:

parochialism
noun
noun: parochialism
a limited or narrow outlook, especially focused on a local area; narrow-mindedness.
"accusations of parochialism"
synonyms:
narrow-mindedness, localism, provincialism, insularity, narrowness, small-mindedness

(What does "noun" mean? Is that a woman wearing an odd looking costume in a hospital?)

Like patriotism, but smaller and even more unreasonable :) it's a great and much under-used word.
