Wednesday 25 July was a historic day on the march; we finally sampled our first local real ale. The Belhaven Brewery and the good people of Dunbar were the providers.
Cassia, one of our Brazilian marchers, had been unsure about how real British beer would compare to Brazilian. Not anymore. Cassia now claims that real ale is "a beer good enough to drink warm".
If I were an entrepreneur I’d be trying to corner the market in selling real British beer around the world, and take on the many varieties of lager which all taste the same. However, the transport emissions from doing so might be quite high. Maybe it is best for Dunbar’s best beer to stay in Dunbar.

About the Cut the Carbon march
This summer, Christian Aid is asking people to walk the walk on climate change by joining the longest ever protest march in UK history.
Starting in Northern Ireland on 14 July, the Cut the Carbon march will last 80 days, cover 1,000 miles, and see marchers from rich countries and poor spread the cut the carbon message to companies and politicians.
Tim Jones works as a policy officer at the World Development Movement and is representing the organisation along the march.

There is no "beer good enough to drink warm"!!! Tell Cassia that she is disappointing Brazilian beer drinkers ... there (and for them) the word goes that "beer has to be drunk stupidly cold"!
Cheers,

I'm afraid that even Belhaven Best (which is, as Tim suggests, a mighty fine brew!) has fallen fowl of the marketer's curse and is now dispensed from an 'Extra Cold' tap. Pity you didn't visit the wee pub in Cramond, which is a fiercely free Free House, with not a single drink behind the bar that you'd recognise (including their own Fairtrade lemonade). Hope you find many more warm beers to your (and Cassia's) liking as you wend your way through Englandshire.
