  Bitter (beer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bitter is a British term for a type of beer or pale ale.
While the two terms are still used interchangeably in the UK, the preference is for the term bitter to be used for both bottled and cask beer, and use of the term pale ale has declined, except in the case of India pale ale.
Bitter belongs in the pale ale style grouping, though bitter does have a greater variety of strength, flavour and appearance than mainstream pale ale.

Bitter melon grows in tropical areas, including parts of the Amazon, east Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean, and is cultivated throughout South America as a food and medicine.
Bitter melon capsules and tinctures are becoming more widely available in the United States and are employed by natural health practitioners for diabetes, viruses, colds and flu, cancer and tumors, high cholesterol, and psoriasis.
Bitter melon traditionally has been used as an abortive and has been documented with weak uterine stimulant activity; therefore, it is contraindicated during pregnancy.

Second, and perhaps even more important, it was at Bitter Springs that the first convincing evidence of early eukaryote fossils was found.

 Bitter Moon (1992)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Bitter Moon centers around a familiar Polanski theme, that we are capable of being both torturer and victim, and usually both simultaneously.
A beautifully crafted movie, almost lyrical at times, Bitter moon is set in contemporary Paris but is told in a series of long complex flashbacks superbly narrated by Oscar (a terrific Peter Coyote) to Nigel (Hugh Grant as the usual British prat), both passengers on a cruise ship to India.
Bitter moon is a great film, one of this reviewer's top 10 for the 1990s.

Although bottled and canned bitters exist (luckily for Americans), the term is usually reserved for draught versions and the purists know that only "real" cask-conditioned bitter is worthy of the name.
A few good bitters make it to these shores, but bear in mind that they are not the same as draught forms and may not be in the best condition.

Victoria Bitter or more commonly known as VB is the only mainstream beer to successfully penetrate across Australia’s culturally entrenched state beer obsession.
The name change from Victoria Bitter was necessary as the beer is a lager and not a true bitter in the technical sense (there is little distinction between a bitter and a lager in Australia and the names are often used interchangeably).
It is interesting to note that the beer is little known outside of Australia where beers such as Fosters and XXXX carry the Australian flag.
