Canuck,
The warm beer to which you allude is called 'real ale'. It's quoffed by folks with beards and sandals and large stomachs (and that's just the women). To be considered drinkable the beer must contain bits of twig and dead rat. The real ale enthusiasts go round in groups and use words like, "Methinks" and "Landlord." They also enjoy traditional pastimes such as skittles, morris dancing and playing conkers and tiddlewinks. And they love crackling and dripping.
