If you're planning a holiday in the United Kingdom then you may well be planning a visit to a traditional British pub. It is, after all, something that seems peculiarly British.
As a local, I'd certainly recommend that you do indeed head for a few pubs during your stay. You'll notice that they vary quite considerably in appearance, atmosphere and character.
We all have our own favourite pubs, from the friendly local that's hidden away in a back street to the pub that remains popular thanks to its considerable beer garden.
I live in a town that is popular with tourists and hence see many wandering in to local pubs. It's always interesting to watch their faces as they take in the scene. It must be great to look at scenes such as this for the first time.
You can often see how thrilled they are to be part of a real British establishment. They then walk up to the bar and order a lager.
At this point I often begin to feel sorry for them. Britain has been flooded by cheap imported lagers in recent years but these are by no means the taste of a real British pub.
Far from it. They often lack any taste or character. Don't make the mistake of ordering a lager at a pub in Britain - you'll find it far more enlightening to try one of the local brews.
Traditional British beers and ales have been making a resurgence. While lager sales fall, ale sales have been performing more strongly, with more and more locals remembering what is so great about beers that actually taste different.
It's a great opportunity for many of us to celebrate local beer production and it's also a chance for visitors to enjoy the best of British.
Take a look at beers that have been made locally - you'll be pleasantly surprised.
