The UK beer market is quite different, especially when considering cask ale.

This beer is unpasteurised and still fermenting in the cask when it leaves the brewery! The carbonation of the beer comes from creation of CO2 during fermentation, rather than injection of CO2 post-fermentation.

This makes for a pretty unstable beer, that doesn’t travel particularly well and should be consumed reasonably quickly!

British cask ale is the most underrated beer. Amazing you can’t find it outside the UK. I have a feeling someone will make some form of it in the USA to differentiate.

Nothing like getting a proper pint of whatever is local.
