In the sense that we consumers only rent beer and not own it.

OK that is the sense I was using too. And that is also the phenom. I was referring to, so we have US-Canada agreement. However I'm worried slightly regarding MacSpadger's post- there could still be a British meaning subject to misunderstanding. Having rather jocose family all over the English speaking world, half of whom thnk they own the language, I'm always getting mocked over that sort of thing. By which I mean 'ribbed' and not 'copied'. See what I mean?

Well, and I must say I mean no personal offence to anyone by this, kiltlifter is a derogatory slang term for a Scottish homosexual, a sort of Caledonian cousin of the derogatory slang term for an English homosexual, shirtlifter.

It would be interesting if someone was to walk into a bar or pub in Scotland and ask for a Kiltlifter....
