A pretty decent American IPA, hop-heavy and of course not an IPA in the British sense (such as Old Empire or Bengal Lancer) but I think it's a decent drink and I've not seen it cheaper.

This point is utter nonense.
It is not "taking over" at all... it is simply allowing us to brew more creatively.
American "style" is the key, it isn't all being imported you know.
British breweries, micro or commercial, are experimenting more now than ever before, and the American style is simply just lending influential ideas. AIPA are wonderful beers, but so are the IPA ones... it is just that different hops, malts and techniques are being used to create more exciting ales.
British ale IS extremely popular nowadays, I promise you that, its just a lot more interesting than what was produced by mainstream breweries in times gone by.
Try any of the following: Thornbridge, Buxton, Saltaire, Anarchy, Kirkstall... All British, and all brilliant.

Hot and I really like some of the US craft beers. But.... shame it is taking over everywhere and British ale is not popular any more.
Do we have to have everything American? Think about what they have done to cream eggs.
Probably they will bring their tea bags here next and nobody will be able to get a decent cuppa. Then they will change the Marmite recipe, partly to satisfy their own egos and partly from necessity because the British brewers they got the yeast extract from went bust during the craft beer boom.
The cycle will be complete when a massive multinational food conglomerate buys up all the craft breweries and every pub just sells Kraft beer.

Good price, average "craft beer" from Thwaites. Get some in!

It helps though that they're being a bit more creative and not just doing what CAMRA want them to do.

They are no longer made with 'dairy milk' chocolate. You mean you haven't been boycotting them ?
