I love to go in a pub and see something different on the pumps. I'm not a bitter drinker, but I figure if I see some unusual bitters I'm probably somewhere that's worth coming back to.

Pubs in US operate totally differently from those in the UK. You can get pretty much any beer in any pub or restaurant, here -no link to manufacturers. Unlike soft drinks where it's the Coke line or the Pepsi line, but never both. The only exception (beer-wise) is pubs that brew their own (Microbreweries). they don't serve the competition in the main. Pubs are not generally owned or franchised by the breweries like they are in the UK. Why not, I don't know. Maybe because food is often a bigger part of it than it is in the UK.
Bitter is a type of beer for the few who thought SG was talking about her emotions.
Now I'm wondering if Americans use the word "punps" in relation to draft beer? On the pump means On Tap. You've got me all paranoid. I need another beer. (Bud)
