Truly amazing stuff. What’s the odds of that happening?! (1 in 10, I know).

I just recall there being a few different £2 beers there and the hexagonal one being the best of them all.

Now that looks familiar - the logo too, but I had in my head it was a red and white label. Reckon it was this, though.

Nice find!

‘Continental-style’ [Brewed in Scotland]

I do, and am (an award winning beer wanker no less), but I also like necking cold cans of lager on hot days. And after years of intensive research, I can safely conclude that of all the widely available lagers, you may as well drink Carling, because a) it’s cheaper, b) it tastes no worse than Stella or any “premium” alternative, c) at 4% it’s nicely sessionable,d) the new packaging is aesthetically pleasing, e) it uses 100% British barley and is brewed in the historic brewing town of Burton on Trent, giving it a sense of localism that I vaguely appreciate. There’s a reason it’s the best selling beer in the UK. Dismissing it just snobbishness. (One day I’ll expand this into a blog as a campaign to reclaim Carling as the British PBR.)

But it tastes objectively horrible , like ive been given it ‘blind’ and had to pour it away.

reckon its like that coriander gene thing?

You’ve just reminded me that these exist. Going into town in a bit to look for them.

I don’t know what to tell you, I think it’s just a very clean, nondescript, decently balanced lager, I don’t know what in it could make people find particular fault in it aside from people’s own value perception.

#131

no mention of Kronenbourg so far? Is that because, like me, you all think its got a strange aftertaste, is a bit too heavy and is just generally a bit shit?

maybe thats why my shit lager of choice is fosters, coz the fosters brewery is a ten minute walk from my house.

heres a thing, on some days it smells like delicious biscuits, and has done for many years but on some days it smells like a motherfucking sewer. sewer smell has only become apparent since it was taken over by heineken, previously the only prevalent smell was delicious biscuits. whats that all about then?

What’s wrong with just ordering in Discovery, though? Most craft ales seem to be closer to lager than anything else these days to me.
