Are you suffering from the delusion that the likes of Boddington's,
Tetley's, and Caffrety's are anything but mass-produced industrial
beers, and not so very different from the boring mass-produced lagers
and FMB you mention? Boddington's is nitro-canned flavorless crap,
Tetley's is bland and dull, and Caffrey's is little better than the
other two. They are closer to the likes of "Bud, Michelob, Heinekin,
Zima etc." than you apparently realize.
