I don't know if I agree about that
but on an amusing tale of pretentiousness and stupidity, when I lived in That London^TM I would occasionally frequent a crap place called Bar 38 in CG. Becks on draft was £3 a pint or £3.25 for a 275ml bottle. Everyone was standing around drinking bottles and could not see the fuckwittery of doing so. Still, I suppose you have to drink less piss for your money if you think of it that way.

Proper Becks, or shitty 4%?

That stuff is vile in most places.
Just a terribly poured pint.

Normal Becks is wonderful.

Yeah that's ridiculously stupid. I'm just saying I prefer the taste out of a bottle.
