Alex 35083 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 It’s not just the strength. Stella used to always be imported. Now it’s UK brewed piss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35083 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Just checked the can. Lowenbrau - A Beer of Bavaria. Brewed in the UK. Not that you don’t get great beers made here. But loads of the continental classic lagers are now mass produced here and the taste is shit. Even stuff like Grolsch used to have a really distinctive taste. But you never see the proper Dutch stuff with old fashioned bottle tops any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 17277 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 24 cans of asahi for £24 from Waitrose has been a lockdown fave..... 5.2% abv is just about strong enough... the newly rebranded in a white can Carlsberg export is only 4.8% but it’s a fuckin madman if you drink half a dozen..

Renton 21627 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I dont get why franchised lager brewed here tastes so rank. What do they do to it? Having said that San Miguel seems to be on offer everywhere at the moment and tastes okay, my cooking lager of choice at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic drop and especially at that price and very much in the easy drinking mould like the ones mentioned previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
