Carling

jellybeard999 · 30 Jan 2007 at 19:49

Carling's like kazakhi wine

And John smiths = beer, Carling = lager ... how did you not notice the colour difference :confused:

Anyone who says Corona is nice needs shooting, along with all bud drinkers

Nicest beers i've had recently = Fuller's London Pride and Marston's Pedigree... Theakstons version of JS Extra Smooth is the nicest draught "non-real ale" beer IMO

All i usually drink now is, Leffe Blonde, Corona and Grolsh (in order of preference there

).

Grolsh is fine as an everyday drink

and so is Corona.

I am drinking world lagers at home and when I go out I either have a pint of Stella or anything 5.0% JD has some really nice bottle lagers.

http://www.peroni.it/ Nastro Azzurro is my fav tipple at the mo.

carling and stella both £1.60 a pint in my union and its usually one of the cheaper multipacks you can buy in tesco.

Tennants for 99p in the other union.

Shame they manage to make it taste worse than usual, mind you Abertay is no better in that regard plus our union seems mostly dead other than lunchtimes.

If I was going to drink bottled beer I'd normally go with Staropramen, Erdinger or maybe Tiger but my tastes vary weekly and also depend on the pub I'm in.

What? Corona is lovely. So refreshing. Along the Mexican theme there's also Desperados which is tequila flavoured. Crazy-sweet, you cant really have more than two.

When i was in Sydney there was a bar doing an Oktoberfest thing and they had some Spaten Munchen lager (well a million different types actually). That was $9 for small jug (250ml? :confused:

) and was loverly. But at £4.50 for less than a pint i dont think it was quite worth it! *wonders if you can get it over here*

Real ale drinker here, and a fully paid up member of CAMRA, so I'll refrain from posting my thoughts on the various lagers mentioned.

Pez · 30 Jan 2007 at 20:27

CAMRA member also, but I dont have lagers

Corona is the undisputed king of lager.

I think you'll find that Staropramen holds that mantle :cool:

Carling is cheap. Only get it if your on a budget.

I prefer Becks (bottle) as my fav larger, either drink that or Magners

Reesy · 30 Jan 2007 at 22:22

I will be having a look down in Weatherspoons tomorow and will let you all know if I decide to try Carling.

I'll probably try a few of the guest ales they have going though.

I drink John Smiths and was wondering if they was similar or are they completely different?

I hereby declare this the most ludicrously nooby, almost unrealistically "omg-like" question I have ever read.

lukechad · 30 Jan 2007 at 22:50

Never tried 1664, didnt really like the taste of grolsch when I had a bottle the other night for the first time, I can drink the odd pint of carling but I really really like fosters and carlsberg export. Fosters is £15.49 for 24x440ml at the moment, before x-mas it was only £9.99, I wish I got myself a crate or 5 now

Shock · 30 Jan 2007 at 23:07

I don't understand all this talk of chemicals whenever Stella is mentioned.

Wouldn't something like a can of coke be just as bad? :confused:

Or am I missing something...

What a strange bunch you all are.

When you buy carling, fosters, carlsberg, kronenberg, stella - they usually all taste very similar. They all taste like lager. If it tastes like urine its probably because its off or watered down. If you goto a nice pub that respects their clientel and gives you nice fresh lager then they are all pretty tasty. MY favourite is Foster, it has a warm woody taste. You never get that in a can or a wetherspoons though.

If you've having spicy food then there's nothing better than Cobra or Chinese lager. If you've after a fresh light lager then San Miguel, Sol and Corona are pretty good.

Whats Foster? Ive never seen it.

Just want to get an idea of what it tastes like as I don't know whether to try it, but I guess you don't know these things till you try them. lol.

Is this a joke? How can anyone not know the difference between lager and bitter?? On second thoughts, if you were about 12 that would explain it?
