martoon Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Brahma for me. Brazilian. I used to like Schlitz (not sure about the spelling). Sainsbury's used to sell it but not seen it on the shelves for years. Agree with the earlier post about Miller Genuine Draught. The beer that could make you jump on the wagon.

Charlie-Brown Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Calton Gold or Edinburgh Gold? That is currently the choice for me, not tried Innes And Gunn yet surprised it got a poor review above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartsfc_fan Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Calton Gold or Edinburgh Gold? That is currently the choice for me, not tried Innes And Gunn yet surprised it got a poor review above. Don't get Innis and Gunn beer/ale mixed up with the lager. The beer and special ales are notch. The lager they do isn't that great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I know there beers are very good that is why I am surprised their lager is getting poor reviews especially given it is being heavily advertised way more than any of their beers have been. Calton Gold on draught is the best lager I've tasted in a long time and less chemical shite in it so way less hangover. Tennant's Black is a very good bottled lager not seen it draught anywhere yet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zico Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Recently discovered Negra Modelo... Pretty Pretty Pretty Good. Haven't found a supermarket that sells it yet. Not a supermarket but Lupe Pintos always have it. As well as lots other decent American and Mexican beers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sexton Hardcastle Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Beer threads are like music threads. Unless you are familiar with and prefer obscure and unknown choices you're an idiot who has poor taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The People's Chimp Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Recently discovered Negra Modelo... Pretty Pretty Pretty Good. Haven't found a supermarket that sells it yet. Oddbins stock it. Such a nice drop. The Modelo Especial is also lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glottis Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Like a good Brooklyn Lager myself.The shame with Brooklyn lager is that I can only find it in 330ml bottles that cost the same as a pint or a 660ml bottle - canny justify it to myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctor jambo Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 FInd myself often hankering back to Rolling Rock- not had it for years ( 20 years) but for some reason I recall it being terrific. Beer/ Lager wise I'll drink anything Once its cold they all taste the same after the first bottle due to the effect on your taste buds as they become saturated So the key would be EITHER drink a different beer each drink you have OR drink an expensive first beer then swill after that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homme Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Never tasted Birra Moretti. Peroni is ok but its not anything special and certainly didn't warrant the hype around it the last few years. Off to Venice / Lake Garda on Friday so hopefully get the chance to try both and any others available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tennant's Black is a very good bottled lager not seen it draught anywhere yet though. If you haven't already done so, try St. Mungos from the West Brewery and Three Hops from Caledonian: both very good, tasty, tangy, German-style draught lagers. In bottle (never seen it on draught), Lomond Gold from the Black Wolf brewery in Stirlng is also excellent in this category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything after that was an improvement. Forgot all about Rolling Rock. Very strange flavour. A taste that makes you doubt the drink by date. Drank about half a bottle, just to make sure, then palmed the others on to a visiting neighbour. I wasn't fond of the neighbour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bighusref Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 If it's Nastro Azzuro Peroni (the British one) I'm fully behind a Moretti win. If it's the imported red label Peroni (which certainly used to be the biggest selling beer in Italy, btw) or the Gran Riserva then it's much more of a competition.

My opinion only, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chester™ Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Myself and one of my pals has the Innis and Gunn lager (the one in the green can) on Saturday just past. We thought it was pretty decent. Had it extra cold though. Not sure if that might make a difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinks Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Must admit that I am partial to a Peroni although I prefer Staropramen. My favourite foreign lager is Estrella Damm. Only seem to find it in bottles, does anyone know where it is sold on draught. inn on the mile and three sisters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
