Your crap brand lager of choice

Lopéz · 15 Jan 2016 at 20:49

I'm not a huge Fosters fan, along with Budweiser it's probably my least favourite known brand lager (and Fosters and Budweiser taste nothing alike)

If it's cold I'll drink it. Can't be too fussy with lager! My favourite lager is probably kingfisher, but that's not really the standard BBQ tins.

Fosters. Contrary to most I absolutely love it. How do you think I got my username

Cold Coors light! Nothing better, sometimes people can be so pretentious about drinks. The new fad is IPA's and unique beer.

Lager is horrible from cans, my favourites are the big bottles of Heineken & Kingfisher, used to like stella until they started brewing it in the UK and now it's boring.

I agree. The amount of people on here who condescendingly tell me to stop drinking **** water and drink a proper beer is stupid. I like it, I'll drink it. I dont need you looking down your nose at me like some kind of philistine.

HAVE I MADE MYSELF CLEAR? :mad:

The good ol' wife beater - Stella.

Recently, the only time I've drank Lager is when I've been to Poland. So it would have to be Lech, Tyskie or Zywiec.

This influx of this lager in this country is just as bad as the influx of eastern Europeans.

There's nothing wrong about a can of Tyskie.

There are two big issues with lager in this country:

1. It is served a lot colder than it should be, perfect on a hot day when you want something refreshing but it also kills almost off any actual taste although it could be considered a good thing in many ways as hides a lot of bad flaws in the lagers made here.

2. Beer brewed under license in the UK usually taste dramatically worse then its "real" counterpart (they are even doing this with "craft" beer now e.g. Dogfish IPA here bears little relation to the real thing).

In the summer I will happily(ish) drink a lot of the UK made lagers if they are really chilled but they don't compare to the stuff you get in Germany and have a very narrow range with regard to taste (I would much prefer to drink a Helles or Marzen "lager").

Oh and to answer the original question it would probably have to be a Corona.....

If I was going cheaper I'd have a Kronnenberg 1664, it's ok. But it's not as good as it used to be and it certainly isn't as good as the proper 1664 sold in France.

Probably 1664.. but only if they've got the 5.5% original strength

I'll drink pretty much anything except Carling. That's so nasty, I'd rather go without.

Regy53 · 17 Jan 2016 at 08:15

The three i cant drink are Fosters, Carlsberg and carling

If pushed fosters is ok, but for me it would be bud, or fosters gold.... or a mix of cobra / tingsato / tiskie..

Cobra isn't actually a lager but rather an ale or hybrid beer, they do appear to be extremely careful on their packaging to not point this out though

Anything as long as it's cold and not Fosters.

Yaayuh! · 18 Jan 2016 at 14:56

Tuborg
Birra Moretti
Peroni
Budweiser
Corona & Lime (great summer lager IMO)
Korev

tom_e · 18 Jan 2016 at 15:00

As long as it's chilled to within an inch of it's life I'll drink anything.

HecFam · 18 Jan 2016 at 15:06

I've recently been going after San Miguel, but I can normally quite happily go for a bud or a fosters.

Don't know if it counts as a lager, but I really like Holsten Pils can normally get it from most off licences.

Avenged7Fold · 18 Jan 2016 at 15:08

Anything but Calsberg or Carling.

I can handle the above if they are super chilled and there is nothing left to drink. My personal preference would probably be Amstel if i was at my local pub. If i was in a Weatherspoons i would probably avoid most things on tap that i haven't already tried there as all the local Weatherspoons in my area don't bother cleaning the taps much and buy all their beer a few months before it is out of date for cheap deals, it becomes a bit of a roulette wheel.

Isn't Budweiser supposed to be something like that, with Budweiser and Budvar being the 'real' counterparts?

What's a good brand of lager if these are crap brands?
