England's Bitter - she wants out of the EU and we all love an XX British Bitter Ale so why not brew something quintessentially british old chap like an XX English Bitter Ale to celebrate the former Lord Mayor of London, and now PM, Boris calling on his fellow Brits to dessert the Eurozone and once again reign supreme as Great Britain and not little England.

I don't want to change the world
I'm not looking for a new England
I'm just looking for another girl
