Tsingtao

Took this in San Francisco 15 years ago, now we know how to pronounce it properly.

Staropramen for me when quaffing both out and in. Seems to be available in loads of Tenby pubs for some reason. Quality hops combined with centuries of skill makes a very tasty drop. After that its Pilsner Urquell.

Not for me, I find the stuff bland, Perioni is far nicer and Moretti is, San Miguel another.

Stella was 5.3%, then 5 them 4.8 now 4.6

Birra moretti winning nowadays

Went up to Plough and Harrow in Monk Nash for lunch yesterday, they had Jemima's Pitchfork on cask, lovely drop, ended up in the Carlton in Mumbles to watch the game, had two Pints of Perioni bloody lovely it was to.

Jemima’s Pitchfork is a lovely brew and is up there with Old Golden Hen and Brains SAGold as my top tipples.

The changes introduced by in 2002 (by Gordon Brown/ Tony Blair) to duty rates to encourage smaller breweries have had a massive impact on the quality and variety of beer/ale we can buy, we still have the mass dross served up by some of the multinationals but the smaller breweries have driven up standards, increased choice and we now have some real quality on top.

The Italian stuff is OK but just not as good as the Czech lagers.... and as for San Miguel... in the UK it is brewed in some vast tank in England (Burton is it?) and just tastes like any other Fosters type megabrew.

Bryn and myself are united on this topic. There is no better than a good pulled pint of Staropramen and I find it anything but bland. I had a weekend of drinking San Miguel not so long ago as Tesco had sold out of Staropramen, I found it much less desirable than the Czech favourite.

Birra Moretti, Peroni, San Miguel, Krombacher plus many others but sorry Bryn Staropramen is the only continental lager I cannot stomach mate.

Knew you would be on banging the Staropramen drum

Like night follows day. I am prepared to deviate every now and again and as an aside I have spent a lovely afternoon drifting around the kolsch micro breweries of Cologne, very good indeed.

Now they've knocked Stella back, I'm partial to a Krony or 3. Moretti is nice too, although I preferred it before they change the glass shape (these things are important lol)

Greys Ales are quality as well, Ty Cwrw in Mumbles have usually got it, had a couple there yday, wish I could find a venue that sells Oakhams Ales though.

Anything that isn’t brewed under licence in the UK is fine by me.

 

[WxmJax]

Asahi dry is brewed in the Peroni brewery in Italy.

Tried Estrella Damm Inedit over the weekend. It's different

Lads, you have forgotten about Perlanchbacher from Lidls.. Nice drink, and it will knock your socks off.. About 1.20 a bottle, but heavy duty stuff

Too fruity. Morreti and Estrella are very nice, darker lagers, Sam Miguel as a third choice. For a lighter larger it can only be Corona. Stella, Becks, Coors are like drinking battery acid these days, horrible.
