[TR] Triumphs Digest, Vol 1, Issue 110

[Brian Jones]

I have been to the Yuengling brewery for a tour. Frankly, it could  
have been a brewery in a third world country.
It was a disgrace. It was dirty. Please, do not hold that up as a  
shining light.

And by the way, alcohol by volume does not a great beer make.

Carling is the UK's biggest selling beer, Wikipedia tells me.
Canadian owned. Monthly visits to the UK tell me otherwise.

Miller, Bud (is that really beer?) and Coors do not register on the  
dial.

You need to travel more Glenn.

Anyway...back on topic....where is what's his name?
