I&#8217;m sure I will do so more fully at a later time, when it inevitably flares up again. I&#8217;m actually pretty sympathetic to <em>both<\/em> sides &#8212; which is rare.<\/p>\n<p>My own particular concerns are these:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;Grey market&#8221; strikes me as an unfair term, which loads the dice against the &#8220;unofficial&#8221; importers, since it carries its connotations of being <em>kinda<\/em> black market &#8212; but grey market imports <em>are<\/em> legal.<sup>1<\/sup> It certainly doesn&#8217;t seem like a neutral term that both sides would use, so it&#8217;s probably not a good phrase for commentators to go on using as a label for the debate.<\/li>\n<li>The <em>quality<\/em> concern should be paramount, but I often get the suspicion that it&#8217;s used as window-dressing for a more knee-jerkish desire for good old-fashioned control.<sup>2<\/sup> The opposition to parallel importing often seems oddly <em>dogmatic<\/em> &#8212; I just can&#8217;t imagine some of the most-vocal opponents actually changing their tune and make an exception were some perfect, quality-guaranteeing dream importer to emerge.<\/li>\n<li>And finally, I&#8217;m just not invested enough in this debate to become someone&#8217;s martyr. I don&#8217;t see the &#8220;anti-grey&#8221; side as being <em>so obviously right<\/em> that I&#8217;d be willing to join a boycott and deprive myself the change to try something I might never otherwise be able to sample. Yes, yes, I know there may be quality issues &#8212; but I&#8217;m accustomed to navigating them with <em>everything else as well<\/em> and can accomodate those possibilities as part of the tasting experience.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Anyway: Sierra Nevada&#8217;s Pale Ale, on tap in the Little Country. This <em>is<\/em> a &#8220;grey market&#8221; import, in case you were wondering why I went for a spin along <em>that<\/em> particular tangent &#8212; it was basically a &#8220;test keg&#8221;, actually, to see if kegs of Sierra Nevada would start heading this way just like bottles have been for a good few months now.<\/p>\n<p>I thought it travelled very well, though some local Beer Folk seemed to bubble towards the opinion that it&#8217;d been beaten up a bit &#8212; I suspect an element of that was the somewhat regrettable pack mentality that sets in when someone &#8220;noteworthy&#8221; makes an early pronouncement (negative <em>or<\/em> positive), with maybe also a touch of that phenomenon where it becomes moderately fashionable to knock something once it reaches a certain level of success. In the main, it went down a treat; we blammed through that pilot keg in very short order (possibly helped <em>too<\/em> much by me, on one particular night).<\/p>\n<p>The only let-down was that we didn&#8217;t make enough of a <em>fuss<\/em> about it, and I don&#8217;t even really know why we didn&#8217;t. It turned out that we actually tapped our keg &#8212; the very first in the country &#8212; on the <em>actual goddamn thirtieth birthday<\/em> of the beer. How neat is that? And it was totally accidental, weirdly. I tried to lobby for the awesomely-ostentatious oversized tap handle to be installed, too. The reasoning was that one big silly handle would look out of place among all the normals &#8212; but surely that&#8217;s <em>precisely why<\/em> you do it. Sigh. That said, Peter&#8217;s note on the blackboard &#8212; written &#8220;in Californian&#8221; &#8212; was awesome.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Verbatim:<\/strong> Sierra Nevada Pale Ale! 15\/11\/10 apparently the first keg to make it to the Little Country. A bit of a travel test, after which it may become a fixture on tap here @ work. Some of the Beer Snobs have already yeah-yeah-ed themselves into agreeing that it hasn&#8217;t travelled well. I say nonsense; is lovely. Maybe, maybe slightly muted. But still its delicious self. I suspect people are confusing it with its gruntier relatives.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; and then a lot \/ too many more the next night. I discovered that the 15th is the brewdate Birthday; so we tapped ours on its 30th!
