If there's one type of beer I didn't associate with Burton on Trent it was lager.

> Walk around Burton and everything is named after beer: Cooper this, Brewer that.

I recently learnt that a "cooper" is someone that makes wooden casks or barrels.

HN auto-title editor strikes again:

"The best pint in England" is the title.

I reckon East Anglia has the best beer in England. There are so many great local brewers. Adnams is down the road in Southwold and keep putting out brilliant, innovative beers. Then there's Lacons in Great Yarmouth and a host of small names, from Nene Valley Brewery to Mr Winters. If you're in Norwich, check out the Trafford Arms: it's in a nondescript-looking building which was rebuilt after a WWII bomb, but it has a constantly rotating playlist of brilliant ales and a landlord couple who really know their stuff.
