Beer is losing its alcohol

I suppose you don't really need to micro-brew a really good lager because they are simpler. In fact the micro brew ones I've tried have never been very good, they are just copies of the real German/Czech stuff which has been perfected over hundreds of years. Why mess with perfection? So you can drink a very good lager and it's still a mass produced factory beer... maybe that's not snobby enough.

Spaten, Hofbrau, Weihenstephaner, Ayinger, etc. those are my go to beers, all I drink is lager, but only proper stuff! A snob?

Although occasionally I just feel like a having weak watery Coors/miller/bud though... same way I feel like drinking a cocoa-cola sometimes.
 
Have to admit I am one of those savages that likes Stella, im quite happy the ABV has gone down though, hurts less in the morning.
 
I don't get the larger vs ale fight - I really enjoy both a good Ale or a nice larger at different points.

My preference would usually be towards Ale and I will poke fun at larger drinkers but not seriously. I even don't mind bud!
 
you want more alcohol content in your beer? try Delirium Tremens or Kwak, in fact most proper belguim beers have a pretty high percentage

I enjoy a nice lager on occasion, but it is more or less impossible to buy a good lager in the UK, or in fact in most counties. You really need to be in Munich to find good lager.

Brune is where it is at.

True lambic beers are actually very sour and crisp, only some commercial sweetened stuff for girls and children (not trying to be disrespectful but that is why some lambic beers are sweetened) is an exception. Of course finding true lambic beers in the UK is impossible.

when I used to live in Switzerland there was a large Belgium beer importer a few miles down the road who would ship in truck loads of real Belgium beer, often straight from the abbeys like Chimay etc.

You can get decent German beer from Lidl and Aldi, plus most decent off licenses sell Polish beers (not Tyskie or Zwiec, I mean decent ones)

But admittedly I do miss my time in Germany as there was a new lager to try around every corner.

Oettinger at Zurich airport, although German is a fantastic beer :)
