Vocabulario básico sobre las bebidas típicas de Inglaterra «british drinks»
Más allá de las tazas calientes a lo largo del día, las costumbres de consumo incluyen opciones muy particulares de las llamadas british drinks para refrescarse en el día a día:
As well as large amounts of hot drinks such as tea, coffee and cocoa, British people – especially children – drink squash (a sweetened fruit concentrate that has to be diluted with water) and brand name “soft” (non-alcoholic) drinks.
La cultura de la cerveza inglesa en el pub
Beer is the most popular alcoholic drink. The most popular pub beer is “bitter” which is draught (from the barrel), has no gas in it and is conventionally, as are all British beers, drunk at room temperature. A sweeter darker version of bitter is “mild”. These beers have a comparatively low alcoholic content. This is the reason why people are able to drink so much of them.
In most pubs, several kinds of bottled beer, usually known as “ales”, are also available.
Beer which has gas in it and is closer to continental varieties is known as “lager”.
In some pubs, cider is available on draught, and in some parts of Britain, most typically in the English west country, it is this, and not beer, which is the most common pub drink.
