Betty Stogs was a Cornish woman in a folktale. She lived on moorland near Towednack, Cornwall, England, UK. She had a six-month-old baby but was lazy and dissipated. The neglected baby was cared for by the fairies, who returned it clean and laid upon a bed of moss. A beer is now named ''Betty Stogs'' after this character. With an ABV of 4.0% it is brewed by Skinner's Brewery in Truro and won the CAMRA prize for ''Champion Best Bitter'' in 2008. Betty Stogs beer is also the subject of several songs. Lyrics of one can be found on the Skinners Brewery site 〔http://www.skinnersbrewery.com/song.html〕 whilst the Exmouth Shantymen 〔http://www.exmouthshantymen.com/songbook.php?id=149〕 have their own version, performance of which is on YouTube 〔http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dj7syT8s6B4〕 and chorus: "Farewell to your wines and whiskies Your brandies and your grogs I’d sail the world and back again For a pint of Betty Stogs" ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Betty Stogs」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
