I think it's you that might be 'up yourself'. I get the feeling that Mr Stein is rather fond of beer. One of his programs saw him coocking with and evangelising about real ale made in Suffolk. Can't remember the brewer off hand. I'm sure real ale has occured from time to time in his other programs too.
