Bitter was the one thing in the UK that I wish I could get here (Australia). You can get London Pride in Melbourne, but they keep it refrigerated like a standard lager, so the flavour is off. There really is nothing quite like it.

Bottled bitter is better booted off the shelf. Tap only, thanks.

Interesting… does it not come back to life when warm?

That's the point. It finishes the last bit of fermentation in the cask in the pub, so what you get served is at absolute top condition. At least initially. That, with the low CO2 and the relative warmth, makes for an experience that's completely superior to cold, carbonated beer. But you have to get used to it.
