I am having a healthy snack...

It's not dark beer but it's Miller High Life and it works for me. Glinda, if you can handle Miller, I'm buying.

Ok - if you and your lady friend ever come to San Diego, I'll get my S.O. and we'll go to the Shakespeare Pub (my favorite Brit place in San Diego). Plenty to choose from there!

Its a date, we both love ice cold dark beer, there is a huge selection in Russia at less than 50 cents a bottle, most of them brewed in Eastern European countries. I love the local ones in the UK as well especially the ones brewed with chocolate malt.
 
In case anyone has never heard of the British term lock-in:

A "lock-in" is when a pub owner lets drinkers stay in the pub after the legal closing time, on the theory that once the doors are locked, it becomes a private party rather than a pub. Patrons may put money behind the bar before official closing time, and redeem their drinks during the lock-in so no drinks are technically sold after closing time. The origin of the British lock-in was a reaction to 1915 changes in the licensing laws in England and Wales, which curtailed opening hours to stop factory workers from turning up drunk and harming the war effort. Since 1915, the UK licensing laws had changed very little, with comparatively early closing times. The tradition of the lock-in therefore remained. Since the implementation ofLicensing Act 2003, premises in England and Wales may apply to extend their opening hours beyond 11 pm, allowing round-the-clock drinking and removing much of the need for lock-ins. Since the smoking ban, some establishments operated a lock-in during which the remaining patrons could smoke without repercussions but, unlike drinking lock-ins, allowing smoking in a pub was still a prosecutable offence.
 
I'll bring a 6 pac of Yuengling (had to go ck spelling & I can't pronounce it). How many dozen of Bayou La Batre raw oysters do I need to bring? Interesting fact about Yue is that its the oldest produced beer in USA.
 
Wanna talk terrible beer? Remember Lucky Lager? I mean the original Lucky brewed on Vancouver Island until the late 80's.
 
Can we bring our own beer? I like super light, icy cold Stella. My father used to drink Lucky, and he is dead now. :(
