http://www.camra.org.uk/page.aspx?o=100330

from fellow German beer drinkers, who don't know what ale is, or at
least shouldn't have to.

> But it's common parlance to refer to real ale from the decades-long activities of CAMRA which was never called CAMRAB - this is splitting hairs

It is only splitting hairs if your beer horizon extends no further
than the channel.
