I can't stand much lager including many listed above.
I did buy some of the aforementioned £1.50 Amstel, but it does not resemble the Amsel I remember from years ago. Very weak tasting. I drink Becks 5% and at a pinch Kronenbourg. Asahi is OK for a change, with a dry taste. Estrella is OK. Find Peroni a little sweet. Had the misfortune to be away for a couple of days, with Carlsberg the only option. I will not go lower than Carlsberg and if Fosters is the only one available will drink out of the warm tap in the toilet in preference. |

All draft lager in the UK is poor but canned is sometimes reasonable. Grolsch is my choice, in cans, and have found that letting it settle in fridge for a few days before drinking is best.

When you think that the last red wine I bought works out at about £4.50 a litre and special brew sells at waitrose for £4.15 a litre something seems to be wrong! The wine I bought is 13% alcohol, a lot different from 8% of special brew. Also red wine is considered among some health officials and doctors as beneficial to health in small quantities unlike special brew. But special brew is demonised and has restrictions on sale but wine does not. Go figure? |

The reason why I'm into home brewing is I had a Dark Lager in a pub called http://en.ufleku.cz/ in Prague. It was almost black with a light head and looked like Guinness but tasted like a lager and it's the most delicious beer ever. If your ever in Prague visit this pub, it's off the beaten track but not far from the center, you won't regret going there.
Dead Pony Club (on sale in Tesco's) is a nice brew. It's very hoppy and has a powerful smell and citrusy taste. Not a session brew but very nice nonetheless. |

Spanish beer Estrella probably most refreshing.
Mahou that stuff is strong but too heavy and makes you sleepy, odd for Spanish beer. People think they are 'classy' drinking that Peroni p1ss  UK Beer called "Freedom" is also very crisp and refreshing no funky tastes just goes down very well. |

Wheat beers are very refreshing.
Most common one in supermarkets is Hoegaarden from Belgium |

There are some UK brewed beers, pale ales, which can be served cold and similar to some lager.
I often chill pale, hoppy, citrus beers that I like. Maybe real ale buffs don't like the idea of beer being served cold, but it is often a much better alternative to lager as there is more flavour. |

Saw an advert last night for the new Guinness beer. Anyone tried it yet?

You need to import it, but Konig Ludwig Hell is my current favourite tipple.
Other than that quite a few UK venues stock Paulaner these days. You can't really go wrong with that. |

I used to like Oranjeboom which I think is still made and Lowenbrau. Allied Breweries used to have some sort of link up with these two, might have been brewed under license, but my dad used to get loads of it free as part of his allowance.

Up until this year was on sale at the Irish Rose Tenerife for 1 euro a pint. Happy days. |

Estrella served in nice glasses. Bit like the Peroni ones.

Becks is brewed in Luton now. It is horrible.
Moretti and Sagres are good. |

Hop House 13? I'm not a fan of hoppy beers but it's OK, I've had it a few times. Hard to distinguish characteristics when there's so many different hops. They also brought out a Dublin Porter at the same time which is great on draught but not as good in bottles (you can buy the latter in Tesco's). |

cant say i really appreciate the dark beers anymore but the history of brewing is very interesting,mention of porters got me thinking about wee heavies which i rem being told were popular when beer was dishwater and folks wanted to give it some taste and add some alcohol ,never seen a wee heavy or a porter in a bar for years https://madisonessentialsmagazine.com/Article/2016-02/Beer-Goggles.
