8. We Enjoy Our Beer (While The Southerners Drink Wine)
Of course, when it comes to washing that delicious, wholesome food down, the North has it covered. In Westeros, horns filled with ale, beer or mead are waved around gleefully, their contents trickling down the beards of noblemen (or the cleavages of their serving women). The preferred tipple of the Southern elite is Arbour wine, refined, smooth and not as strong as the Dornish variety. In the North of England, we produce peeve as well loved as our scran. With real ale brewers such as Double Maxim, Black Sheep, Wylam, the Barnsley Beer Company, Camerons and, of course, Newcastle Brown Ale, theres no shortage of choice. Also, if youd ever like to test the Norths love of beer over wine, just tell a Yorkshireman theres a trendy new wine bar opening in town.
