English Jon, I can conclusively prove that the U.S.A actually exists. Just drink a beer from a major U.S. distributor and then drink a beer (or as many as you like) from any other country. Surely you will agree, no one in the U.K. would purposely make beer taste as foul as the major U.S. brands. Same goes for Canada, Germany, Czech Republic and so on. In fact, I think it's illegal to make such beer in Germany. I suspect it's just California that doesn't actually exist.- Mark
