Once In A Brew Moon

This Beer's Been Watered Down, Guv

This story has particular resonance for Victoria, the state where I live - because we've just been through the worst flooding in the history of the state's farming area. A couple of days ago, I was intrigued to read that beer tankers were being used to get safe drinking water to flood-stricken British communities. Five of Britain's main brewers have already made 23 tankers available. The British Beer and Pub Association quipped it was a reversal of their normal business of turning water into beer. Many pubs, God bless them, offered food and shelter to evacuated householders and rescuers.
