Lager Lager Stella Artoris

[Mick Mac]

What's the cool lager of the moment. Enough of your cask ale rubbish.

I've tried Camden Hells lager and Greenwich Meantime Pilsner in the last week.

But Stella Artoris - When Micky Flanagan says its cool then it's cool.

I always like a Heineken.

[Mick Mac]

Red Stripe makes me happy :)

Carling with a dash of lime juice

His Lordship is a big Scouse bloke but loves a pint of Carling with "quite a lot of lime" cordial though, not juice (he thinks it's a bit girly but no-one is ever going to say it to his face)....

Any from

Skol

Harp

Hofmeister

[Otta]

Carling, Carlsberg and especially Fosters give me hiccups.

[????]

all mass market ones crap, only their strenght gives them any flavour so Stella purely because it's strong enough to have some flavour but not a Special Brew. Learn to drink proper beer mick

[Jeremy]

I don't really like Camden hells at all (their pale ale is acceptable... just). Brooklyn and Sam Adams are nice. Failing that a good German or Czech pils. And Brick Brewery do a pretty reasonable pilsner.

[El Pibe]

Genuinely don't and have never liked Stella, it tastes of.....matter...

I guess if I'm on the gary lager for the night it has to be refreshing yet inoffensive. Heineken is about right.

Whatever happened to Oranjeboom as the lager du jour, or should that be pils van de dag.

Craftier lagers can be nice too.

Kronenbourg with some elderflower cordial in.

[Seabag]

Kestrel Black is pretty good

As is walking in front of a highspeed train, at an unmanned crossing

[Earl Aelfheah]

It's all the same fizzy pish

[StraferJack]

even Stella doesn't have the old strength it used to, so even less reason to have it

I see Oranjeboom in cans a fair bit down here in Sussex but as rahrahrah says, it does taste much of a muchness with the rest

I can't even drink my formerly-beloved red stripe any more

[Seabag]

I'm with you on the Red Stripe thing, what happened to it

Did the ABV get downgraded due to the duty demand, or something like that

Tho I switched to English Cider years ago, Lager being to fizzy/pissy for me

[edcam]

I rarely drink it now but when I do I'll go for a Stella or a Kronenbourg. Went through a phase of trying bitter until I gave up when I finally accepted it's just rank and not fit for human consumption.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Real ale and craft beer fanatics everywhere... that's your cue. ^^^^^^^^^^^^

Last season I asked what the Hamlet Lager was at Dulwich hamlet, and there was your answer.

[Otta]

For my part I've just never really got on withr real ale. I don't like lager too gassy but I do like some fizz and I like it cold. Real ale just makes me feel a bit sick.

And I'm not putting it down, to each their own. Just wish that those who think you're sone sort of thug if you drink lager (rather that wine, cider or real ale) would be as tolerant of other people's tastes.

As I said before, Heineken does it for me. Nice and crisp.

Lager Lout v Real Ale connoisseur

[Mick Mac]

Micky Flanagan routine...

when he goes to the offy to buy 4 cans of Stella Artoris he gets a worried look from the lady in the shop and she says : "oh dear love, would you like one of our leaflets....."

Also when he walks down the road drinking a can of SA - he finds he's given lots of space.

Would never happen to a real ale drinker. Maybe Quids knows different.

I'm famous for my Stella Artois consumption at home. Outside, where I pay a premium, I'd rather drink something better, and normally cheaper too. I spent twenty years largely scoffing 'premuium' lagers in pubs at a way above doctors guideline volumes, the massive, and crucially widespread, improvement in the availibility of well kept ales in pubs over the last 5 years or so and some interesting craft beer (yes including lagers)plus the fact I don't go on pub benders anymore has put me back on what's a much nicer tasting product.

[Jeremy]

I think one of the reasons I've got on with the whole "craft" beer thing is that the American style ales are a lot more flavoursome than most lagers, but still keg (i.e. chilled and carbonated) so just as refreshing as a lager. I'd probably choose a light real ale over a crap generic lager.

I expect I'll also slow down when I'm 50.
