Re: Beer Definition
That's the opposite of what's happening.
I live in South London. I have done the occasional pub crawl in my life. About 10 years ago I did my first brewery crawl (in Boulder, CO) I can now do a brewery crawl from my front door.
There are now more breweries in the good beer guide than there were beers when I first purchased a copy.
I had several excellent craft beers last time I was in Vietnam.
Even the USA now has decent cheese - although you still have to seek it out.
