I need to bend the ear of the beer guys at my local good beer bar, I’d love to try either of those in Cc form.

And we rarely get the UK beers on cask, so I imagine you can chalk that up to poor travel survival -- either direction across the sea.

In reference to the above, here in Leeds we can get both SNPA and Anchor Steam on cask on a regular basis, but not much else in terms of US Brews. Maybe tha'ts why they sit so high, despite being 'touchstone' brews. Taylor's, Brain's, Hopback and Fuller's Chiswick are pretty much staples, I reckon!! Yep, a solid list there.

Were they really all on cask? Anchor Steam & SN Pale Ale on cask, <i>that</i> I'd like to try! I can already attest to the goodness of the Summer Lightning from cask.
