Thank you for the link, Martin. This site is different from any other site I've checked out - they require that you check a box that you are of legal drinking age in your home country. This is the first time I've been 'carded' -EVER!!! and it was by a website!

I can remember going to England when I was 13. I had to be escorted onto the plane with my 10 yr old sister, because I wasn't 14 - I was considered to be a child. A few hours into the trip, a Scotsman, a true gentleman, offered to trade seats with my sister so that she could stretch out across 3 seats and be able to sleep. We chatted for a few hours until the stewardess came around to take drink orders. She ran through what was still available and tried to get me to order one. So did the Scotsman, until I told them I was not legal to drink - I wasn't 21. The stewardess said that she wasn't checking ID. I had to remind her that 'children' are not allowed to drink. She didn't recognize me from the beginning of the trip when she walked us onto the plane ahead of everyone else because we were 'children' - (my sister was across the aisle one row back and buried in a blanket.) The Scotsman was flabbergasted - he thought I was 25, and was going to ask if he could take me out in Manchester! Heady stuff for an almost 14 yr old!
Woohoo! I've been carded! Can't wait 'til I tell my sibs!

Dad loves a good brew and most North American beers just don't cut it. But...this company exports around the world. I can buy their beer about 2 hours away...drive another 3 hours, and Dad can hoist a brew to you, Martin. He will be ecstatic. He usually drinks one of the German beers because they are more full-bodied than anything produced here.

We can choose between St Andrews Ale, Wee Heavy, Scottish Ale, Twisted Thistle, and Best.

Martin, I am not a beer drinker, which one would you recommend I try first/second for him?
