There are some great artisan cheesemakers in the US.

This is true, and similar for beer and no doubt various other things,
the trouble is that the general populace in the States is even more collectively retarded than ours, so the good stuff can be tricky to find.

True enough,
It's just that the 'Americans are all cunts' stance that is so popular in this country is as lazy, ignorant and stupid as the lowest-common-denominator Americans it is supposed to be deriding.

It does annoy me.

I drank so many fantastic American beers at the beer festival this year, it saddens me that I shall never be able to purchase them here.

This is one thing I will defend vigorously
and I do know a place in Borough where you can buy them - I get some every now and again.

Day trip HOOOOOOOOO

You don't mean Utobeer by any chance, do you?
He does have a good selection there.

It is indeed.
Only place I've ever found Flying Dog outside the US.

Well, the Rake, round the corner from there, does tend to have the stuff in the fridge
I believe that's where I first tried Flying Dog's IPA. Of course, they will charge you a horrifically inflated price for the privelige.
