BrandNewGuy Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Before the 2006 World Cup, the Germans revolted against the corporate FIFA imposition of Budweiser and managed to get Bitburger instead. The British used to have a noble tradition of rioting over beer - maybe we should resurrect it?

Loz Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 They're owned by Carlsberg and Heineken now, so you are only going from Dutch lager to Dutch/Danish lager anyway.

nashoi Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 How are you defining English beer, brewery location, ingredients, style? I doubt there are many that qualify on all of the above.

Well...Meantime is London?s second largest brewery after Fuller?s, so they could.. And Meantime / Greenwich kinda works for the Olympics don't you think.

DulwichFox Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Well as I am not going to the Olympics so I do not care what beer they are selling or how much it costs. I can buy a case of 12 Peronis for ?13.00 (Tescos) and watch the Olympics at home in the dry. Or do something completely different..

Help-Ma-Boab Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I know Loz, was just drawing parallels to the Murray effect. British when winning, Scottish when not.Anyway...back on topic, there is no Scottish, Welsh or N Irish beer at the Olympics.
