Bond and Beer...

Having read the various reactions to Bond being said to actually drink a Heineken in the upcoming movie Skyfall I was interested to read this article on potential hops and barley based bevvies for 2012 Bond.

Personally I don't mind a Heineken, but prefer (as I think Bond would) a decent real ale, preferably hand pumped.
Having travelled extensively myself though, this is, as in Bond's world not always an option. Therefore, one has to rely on some bottled brews and the Germans with their Reinheitsgebot are always a safe bet, as are the good old Belgians. Or if sticking to the tap, a Guinness always delivers, wherever you find yourself in this world.
Anyway, like Austin Powers it seem JB feels the need for a Heiny… well I for one say "CHEERS" to that… or Proost, or Gezondheid {[]

Today there are so many choices of great beer, why choose a Heineken?

Mad Men did a scene on Heineken and its place in the early 60s market. -{

He had beer!
As a point of fact, he also almost had a beer in LTK. Pam Bouvier orders a "Bud with lime" and Bond asks for the same. He's in a seedy place, and he's following her lead, but he does order it just the same!
he he he he, you said ho garden.... he he he he he
