Second, pizza will never be the same thanks to the Dickens Inn (near the Tower).  Finally the beer \u2013 oh, the wonderfully delicious beer; the sheer variety of beer on tap in London is amazing.<\/p>\n<p>Every once in a while I like diving into a cheap beer or two just to see what is what.  I mean, I have kids to feed and all, so I have to be a cheap ass from time to time.  To drown away my sorrows from today\u2019s UGA loss, I picked up a six-pack of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer. [No I did not really drown away my sorrows, but it sounds like a good line.]<\/p>\n<p>Typical American light lager, best served cold.  Honestly not too bad, but certainly not that wonderful.  Did you expect more for about $0.60 a pop top?  Not much flavor to be had, but I do like this better than my other two cheap beer mainstays \u2013 SouthPaw Light and Natty Light (beer flavored water to coin a phrase of a co-worker).  OK, PBR is certainly not in the same league with Amstel (the full-body version, not the light stuff) or Stella Artois, but PBR is refreshingly cheap.<\/p>\n<p>To each their own, I suppose.<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three things happened while I was in London that potentially spoiled me to the local Columbus, GA cuisine for many (many) weeks to come.
