I took my trip to London as a great opportunity to try some different beers from around the world. I kept my choices to beers on tap. Let me say that many of these beers were just amazing. I will star my favorite on the list. London gets an A+ on the variety of just great beers they had on tap. It really puts any city I have been to in the US to shame. Anyway, here is the list of beers in no precise order...
Carling
Old Speckled Hen
McMullen
Timothy Taylor Landlord (rumor has it - this is Madonna's fav)
Carlsberg (Go Liverpool!)
Heineken (still didnt like it)
Brains Dark*** (good)
Guiness
Kronenberg
Fuller's London Pride**
Grolsch
John Smith Extra Smooth**** (my favorite - luckily it was in the hotel bar!)
Original Budweiser (czech beer)
Stella Artois
Fosters
Wadworth 6X
Staropramen
Adnam's Broadspire*** (good)
SeaFarers Ale
Black Martin (i think that was the name...)
Fuller's Honey Bee
Tsing Tao (I was in chinatown...)
Leffe
Wells Bombardier
Bread of Heaven**** (good, second favorite and a great name)
Yes, that is 25 different beers. I also tried a Strongbow but that is a Cider beer.
A+ London, A+!

If you ever got your punk-ass out to the Euro Beer Tour at Quenchers you'd experience something similar.
Hey, don't knock American beers till you come out to the Northwest. I went to the Northfork Brewery this past weekend (along with a few other on our 300 mile tour) and they had a nitro ESB that was probably the greatest beer I've ever had. Think a cross between the taste of Fuller's London Pride crossed with the body and head of a Guinness.
In the meantime, do yourself a favor and pick up a six-pack of Rogue Brutal Bitter to hold you over...
