Lager

[sufcintheprem]

Incidentally, I do find that German lager is significantly less likely to give you a severe hangover and I gather that this is down to laws on how many ingredients you can use.

There should be a law stating that lager can only be drunk with Indian food, therefore Cobra for me. Particularly the big bottles.

Quite agree

I have to be in a certain mood to drink certain lagers. I drank Stella throughout Uni but rarely touch it now, I drink Carlsberg but only in the Spread on matchday, I'll drink Fosters if I'm not feeling 100%. I probably drink Kronenbourg the most out of that list though. It ticks most of the boxes for me.

I know it's not everyone's cup of tea (although I've never understood the claim that it's weak when it's almost as strong as Stella) but I do like a nice, cold Budweiser, particularly on tap. I live, though, for the day when I'll walk into a pub and see Carling Premier for sale. I used to adore that stuff.

Carling if I'm not drinking, Star, Peroni or Kronenbourg if I am, or Becks in bottles. Both Kronenbourg Blanc and Hoegarden hit the spot on a hot summers day as well.

Quite right. German beer is govenment regulated and has to be brewed to set standards that go back over 300 years believe it or not. This means better beer, no chemicals and less severe hangovers.

but the laws also mean you have to wear particular outfits and drink from only the finest vessels!..

Carlsberg for me

 

[Bob Cratchitt]

The old purity law, I must admit I did used to like a Holstein Pils or Export, however in the early nineties I moved on to Stella, although I swear it tastes different nowadays and I hardly drink it anymore when in need of lager.

Coors definitely gets my vote, probably because Keystone Light was all I really drank when I was underage, and Coors is just a much better version. Although, I still sometimes go for Keystone when I'm strapped for cash since it's hard to find a better deal than a 30 pack for $12!

Where are the following poll choices?

Force 10
Lynx Super
Crucial brew
LCL super
Bavaria 8.9
Kestrel super

Cyril, my local offie is selling Oranjeboom 8.5% Extra Strong for £1. I bought a can - a pleasant surprise. It's a bit chewy but better than the other extra strong lagers I've tried. Perfectly drinkable and potentially quite dangerous. Sounds up your street!

Fair play digging this old one out Pubey! Real blast from the past seeing the names of some of those who have posted on it.

I don't think anyone on here will drink an extra strong lager without thinking of Cyril!

 

[Massimo Giovanni]

A proper dark porter beer. Very manly!

Try Voll Damm next time you're in Catalonia.It's much better than San Miguel or Estrella.

[Billy is the best]

In my village in Normandie Grolsch is the favourite lager as the bottles can be refilled with Calva.

I liked drinking Estrella Galicia when working in Madrid. Voll Damm is a bit brutal strength-wise!
