Article on real ales inItaly

Dear friends, Financial Times intervieuwed me on my mobile on mid-November when I was on the road in Brussels with a lot of noise around me so the journalist does not understood me well about the price of a pint of real ale in Italy. It is 5 Euros, not 5 pounds ! See the article clicking on

Hi Lorenzo I especially enjoyed the bit from the guy from the "Food From Britain" export agency - "Transporting the beer is another (problem). We have had a few casks explode en route, leaving a nasty mess of hops everywhere,"

You & I know the casks didn't actually explode, but it does sound very exciting :~)

& good to hear that (some of?) the ales are dry-hopped too.

I was less keen on the FT writer's easy snipe (or mistaken impression?) of the correct serving of UK ale was warm & flat

I had some trouble finding the piece, so I made a shorter link

or c&p the long url between

ah, I remember reading something on the ft.com site about how articles were only available to read for free for a short time period.

i didn't take a copy, & couldn't find one via google's cache of recent webpages or separate news page.

I'm guessing you can do better Lorenzo? cheers MikeMcG
