Brooklyn Lager? In England?

Blimey! The market for American craft brews is apparently booming in England, where sales of premium Yank lagers are up 150 percent this year in pubs across the country. The more flavorful beers hearken back to older beer-making traditions that English brewers haven’t yet revived on the scale we have here. The trend has inspired Tesco, the large British grocery chain, to start selling Brooklyn Lager, Blue Moon, and Sierra Nevada Pale Ale in 700 of its stores. [Guardian UK]
