Seymour M Hersh Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I've not drunk lager for about 15 years barring the odd half on holiday in Spain. However once upon a time I used to drink it and when I started bevvying back in the mid 70's it was always draft lager. Tennents was usually decent Carlsberg was okay but you avoided Skol whenever possible. Later though I went off the draft Scottish stuff as you could get a great pint in one bar but just along the road the same make was bowl due to the pub not keeping the pipes clean or whatever. So I went on to bottled lager mostly US stuff like MGD and Rolling Rock. It was decent enough but my thinking was the consistency you got over draft. Most of the stuff mentioned on this thread I've not even heard of before!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auld Reekin' Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Taking things very slightly off-topic, a question for all you fellow fans of fine German beer: alongside a good hefeweiss, my favourite style of German beer is unfiltered lager or dunkel beer. However, I always seem to struggle with ordering it when I'm there. I've heard and seen it referred to under various terms: zwickel, kellerbier, klosterbier, but is there a better or more generic name I can use for this style of beer that will be recognised across Germany? (Of course, much of any confusion caused to the long-suffering German bar-peeps could well be caused by my inability to speak their language or pronounce any of their words recognisably...)

Had mine nearly 2 years now......drinking rate has sky rocketed since then..! best lagers would be Lowenbrau Oktoberfest and Spaten Oktoberfest....favorite though was the Franizkaner Royale, sadly now discontinued....

I know "Haben sie..." is probably unnecessarily formal and polite (particularly as I'm not that far off 60 myself), but I'm reasonably confident I can pronounce it correctly and will understand the reply. It also means I won't have to try and learn another German phrase. (I jest of course: I'd love to be able to speak more and better German... if only I wasn't cursed with a severe allergy to actually putting in the effort required and it wasn't such a feckin' difficult language in the first place!)
