I first saw this beer in 1993, if I'm not mistaken, but I wasn't expecting to see it in Britain. American beers are generally rare in Europe, although in Britain they're maybe seen more than elsewhere in the EU. This is a craft beer, though, so it would be rare anywhere, nevermind in Britain. It does seem weird to sell an American pale ale in Britain, though, as pale ale is one of Britain's specialties, not America's.
