   The first I tasted was Grant's in Seattle, around 1992 or 1993.   
   John Adams came later.   
   The best was E-ball IPA in the Outer Banks Brewing station, Kittyhawk:   
   put it this way: if it should ever appear in my local I'll drink it again.   
      
   BTW, my local has Oakham Ales Jeffrey Hudson Bitter (JHB for short).   
   Check it out if you see it.   
      
   In a couple of weeks a bunch of us will be in "The Star" of Belgravia   
   after a visit to thre Science Museum. The Star is in the west End of   
   London, just off Belgrave Square. They're a Fullers pub and do excellent   
   food too. Should be an excellent session.
