I cited it in my blog on Bond switching to Heineken in my blog post: http://johnsciacca.webs.com/apps/blog/show/13999660-bond-james-bond-neither-shaken-nor-stirred- I'm not so disappointed with Bond drinking a beer -- as you mentioned, there's precedence -- but more so that it is a Heineken! Bond would never select such....swill. I came up with 10 scenarios and 10 beers that fit far better and more organically into Bond's world. Would love you to take a look and comment on my selections... Here's #10 with links to the successive beers at the end... http://johnsciacca.webs.com/apps/blog/entries/show/14004696-bond-s-beer-of-choice-10-assassin Best, John Excellent post!
