In the sixth episode of the second series of the Simpsons, Ned Flanders invites Homer to his basement for a beer: “Will draught be OK? Had the pipes installed last week!”
The beer is imported from Holland.
Is he one of us?

With a name like Flanders … and Ned would surely, being a Christian, approve of Abbey beers …
was about to say – the clues in the name! but Zythophile beat me to it. What next? Homer goes homebrew and shows his wares at a craft beer fest? Garrett Oliver making a guest appearance? Homer and Obama single-handedly turning around this year’s dreadul hop harvest? The possiblities are endless…
…also there’s a couple of beer-related episodes of Family Guy. keep an eye out.
We saw the Willie Wonka parody where Peter Griffin visits the Pawtucket Patriot brewery the other night. Family Guy is growing on me, puerile and poorly animated as it is…
FG – it’s the way forward. I resisted for ages too, but it’s too damn funny. It shouldnt be. But it is.
Family Guy is outstanding. I like my jokes close to the bone. Nobody escapes untouched in that show.
