I'm an American who is often in Europe and the Middle East for work.
I was initially turned on to Cask Ale by a Royal Navy officer who was an exchange pilot in my squadron years ago. Went a long time without it until I was working in Scotland in 2012, and have my own pin cask and recently bought an Angram CQ Beer Engine that I am working on setting up.
I was asking some Cask specific questions on a US Forum and I was directed over here, as Cask/Real Ale is more common in the UK than the USA.
Brewing wise, I have a 3 vessel electric system I built, one stainless conical that uses my freezer as a cold glycol source, and a three tap kegerator.
I brew a smattering of beers, most commonly Pale Ales, ESB and Porter, and have been recently experimenting with Lagers since I am often on the road for months at a shot, and now have temperature control.
