Most refreshing lager..

Good shout, loving a chilled peroni at the minute as well

Peroni's in my top 3..funnily enough i'm drinking my Amstel out of a Peroni glass.

Just out of interest San Miguel makes up the trio..and it goes without saying they must be served up ICE COLD.

Tennents Super
Skol Super
Carsleberg Export ( does that count as lager ) if not wire in Lynx Super lager

carlsberg *

Oh..and just to add..Carling is the worst by a country mile..gassy, watery and virtually undrinkable.

I meant special not export

Yeah carling is sh1te wouldn't even attempt to get drunk on it

Back when I lived in Malta, a glass of Moretti while sat on the terrace looking at the Med was hard to beat. To be fair the alternatives were Skol and Cisk so it was near impossible to beat.

On a mission not to drink any beer "brewed" (lol) under licence ,imported or properly brewed  beers only for me ,been trying a few UK micro brewries beer and some are ok but prefer a continental style lager now

On a hot day you cant beat a nice cup of tea tbh 

Failing that a good British cider ,Bulmers nice and chilled crisp/dry and not to sweet and would be furst choice

Since the OP asks about lager it would prob be Singh or Corona but any imported beer brewed properly and not made by the teabag method would suffice .

Forgot about "Innis and Gun" lager ,best UK  lager i have drunk bar none and very refreshing ,excellent imo but can be expensive
The UK brewers need to get their act together on price ,all the big lagers seemed to be owned by the same conglomerate and i am sure they are tampering with the taste ,mingling it together to produce many diff products that all taste similar .
Again mostly produced using the teabag method .

*Innis and Gunn

I remember reading not long ago some company bought out UK beers not sure which ones but it was Budweiser and thier team i think so i would suspect watery beers will be flowing more regular now

Think the Meantime Brewery in South London got taken over by one of the big boys, SAB I think.

"imported or properly brewed  beers only for me ,been trying a few UK micro brewries beer and some are ok but prefer a continental style lager now "

same they are stronger and you can sit on the deck chair in the garden and feel like your well wherever your beer said it's made

A bottle of Tiger goes down well on a nice day.

Asahi Is Buying Anheuser-Busch InBev's Peroni and Grolsch for $3 Billion

Harp - simply the best followed by Coors and Heineken

You see fake britain they busted a truck load of fake heineken , it was real bottles but not the same beer

Sorry it was Corona

Harp - simply the best followed by Coors and Heineken

you are taking the rip I presume? the only lager ever made as bad as that lot was Marston's Pilsner

I can roll my sleeves up and mix it with the proletariat, so if I fancy something other than Pol Roger I'll take a Kronenbourg.

A pint of ice cold San Miguel on draught in a special San Miguel mug on a hot summers day is unbeatable.

I also love the small tins of Heineken and Amstel on draugh too.

p.s Waitrose own brand of lager (Curveza) is absoultely top notch.

yep ,i'll go for that one   - commercial crap lager tastes like dishwater

Kestrel Super 9%

Although I wouldn't call it refreshing.

I am a not normal lager drinker as I drink mainly wine, but I do enjoy a lager  on a nice summers day if I can't get anything else.  If in a good pub I would go for 'Old Rosie' proper draught cloudy cider.

However I do enjoy Kestrel sometimes, but it is tricky finding someone who sells it as it is a strong lager.  So many shops now have the sign 'strong lagers and beers not sold here'.  That seems ridiculous in a way as they are selling spirits and wine at far greater strengths. Now the nice weather is hopefully arriving I will have to make a special journey to get some Kestrel, it will make a nice change from wine.

San Miguel is yer boy

Beck's.

It's one I seem to be wrestling with because I'm finding it difficult to translate. I'm reading which lager would you like and my translator is saying would you like an Englishman, American, German, French, Belgian, Italian or Dutch bloke to pi55 in my gob.

I suppose the answer to both is neither. Lager has to be drunk freezing cold because it tastes so ghastly at any other temperature.

In fact on balance I think I'd rather have an aged witch who hasn't bathed for centuries gyrating on my face than drink any lager these days.

Yeah not a fan either, pubs just make their own, water it down to save money and call it Fosters or kronenbourg.

Don't forget the addition of shavings of camel scrotum.

Not a fan of the amber nectar i take it then misty

I'd rather drink diarrhoea through a straw.

Most refreshing beer I've ever drunk by a long long way is an australian one called Carlton cold

Love a Peroni, bought 24x330ml bottles from Costco Saturday for £22.98 then on sunday i went to Pizzaexpress and it was £5****in75 a pint ...didn't stop me buying more though

just noticed Special Brew and Tennants Super have been dropped from 9.0 to 8.0 abv, when did that happen ...

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.

Samuel Adams.

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.

Spanish beer Estrella probably most refreshing.

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.

Also not familiar with the term "scotch ale " but he ho ,was looking at some wee heavies and stuff like skull splitter and dirty bastard ect ect ,should have a fred on best/worst named  beer .

Lots on here now have to drink 2 Carlsberg Specials ...barstewards

or even a thread on beers nicknames ...used to hear people calling Carlsberg Specials ,,charlies or leg openers .

many brewery workers used to drink Gold Label topped up with Pedigree, Draught Bass or Double Diamond and was known as Night Nurse

What ever happened to Tennent's gold beer?

The girls they put on the cans drunk it.

That was Tennent's lager. Nice girls though
