IF Prime Minister Theresa May or any other Briton needs some Dutch courage to see them through the fraught final countdown to Britain’s departure from the EU, they need look no further than a Paris pub and its popular “Brexit” beer.

Brewed by a pro-remain beer maker in Suffolk, a region in eastern England that voted to leave the EU, the beer’s hoppy notes give it a deliberate bitterness, said Lomig Fronty, a French barman at The Cricketer pub.

The brewery “wanted to put across its feelings toward Brexit, hence the bitterness of the beer,” Fronty said. “So that’s what I tell people who don’t want to take it for this reason, it’s actually an anti-Brexit move to buy this beer.”(SD-Agencies)

The uncertainty is enough to give most drinkers at the British-themed pub near the Gare Saint-Lazare a headache.

“Brexit is terrible,” said Rosie, a British-Australian patron of The Cricketer. “But at least the beer is good.”
