I think it depends on your household...and mine takes brewing quite
seriously.  Since I live with a home-brewer who has been brewing for 18
years and grows his own hops (and who is also an archaeologist in South
Asia), there are currently 3 kegs on my back porch-- a yummy cider (around
7.5%), a Banks bitter, and a London porter...
As Americans who definitely appreciate British ales, yes, we're looking
forward to York...
